Clavo
Capitalics · Michał Jarociński
A multipurpose serif with classical proportions and subtle warmth, designed across nine weights with optically calibrated steps and matching italics.
About
Designed by Michał Jarociński, Clavo is a serif family of eighteen styles built around traditional forms and harmonious structure intended to ease reading without distraction. The nine weights were spaced by optical judgement rather than mechanical graduation, giving the family a more natural rhythm across sizes. Coverage runs from caption to display use, with small capitals, a wide numeral set, fractions and other OpenType features included throughout.
Classification
Clavo draws on classical proportions and traditional forms with subtle humanist warmth, placing it in the transitional serif tradition suited to both text and display settings.
