Magno Serif
Blackletra · Lucas Gini · 2022
A display serif from Lucas Gini spanning eight weights with italics and variable font support, covering over 200 languages across an extensive Latin character set.
About
Developed from a misidentified 'Memphis' metal type found in Brazil, Magno Serif has moved well beyond that starting point into its own voice. Eight weights from Thin to Black each carry a matching italic, with variable font versions available for both romans and italics. OpenType features include small caps, multiple numeral sets, fractions, superiors, inferiors, arrows and a unicase stylistic set, making it a capable tool for display work where weight contrast and breadth of language support matter.
Classification
Described as originating from a condensed 'Memphis'-like reference, it evolved into a display-oriented serif with eight weights and strong visual mass, suited to impactful headlines rather than running text.
