Calyx specimen from Blaze Type

A single-weight modular display face by Anne-Dauphine Borione, drawing on botanical petal forms to produce chunky, retro letterforms with a 1960s–70s character.

About

Designed by Anne-Dauphine Borione and released in 2023, Calyx takes inspiration from flower petals to build blocky, modular glyphs that carry a distinct retro warmth. With only one weight, the face relies entirely on the character of its shapes to make an impression, which it does best at headline sizes and in graphic work. Coverage extends across Latin European languages with TTF and WOFF export formats available.

Classification

A blocky, modular typeface with botanical petal-inspired forms and a retro 1960s–70s character, explicitly designed for display use and graphic exploration rather than text settings.
