Jaqen is a contemporary serif with a distinct aesthetic. Learning from historical methods of practice in metal types the design has been developed to improve reading text in modern applications. Initially drafted by hand to help promote a more natural letter shape, the typeface is then digitally produced adding a more angular expression with wedge-shaped forms, open apertures and subtle diagonal stress. The result is a well-balanced serif type family with the right rhythm, harmony and calm personality for creating readable text in the digital era.
Details include 978 characters, six weights with true italics, ten variations of numerals, opentype features nut fractions, stylistic swashes and alternates, ligatures, small caps, chess symbols and language support covering Western, South, Central Europe and Vietnamese.
Minigap Minigap is a geometric sans serif family that has a minimal height difference between upper and lower case. In other words if you’re into typography, it has a very high x-height... yes, very high. The choice was made to finally have a typeface that could appear very neat, reducing ascending and descending parts of the glyphs (b, d, g, j, l, ...) that could interfere with the lines above and below. All of that without going to extremes in a unicase style but also without renouncing to a great legibility. This aesthetic, in fact, translates into a pleasant visual effect that creates well-defined lines and enhances the layout, looking excellent on small screens. A meticulous optical correction, starting from pure geometric lines, was applied to every glyph, aiming to obtain the best version of each. The pointed corners of capital letters and numbers have been kept even in the heavier styles, to give consistency to the family. You can clearly see how clean they look. Stylist
