About
Designed by Alberto Casagrande and released in 2018, Mazius Display draws on chancery hand traditions to produce a serif with strong stroke contrast and old-style proportions. The family spans four styles, pairing an upright Roman and Bold with two distinct italic cuts, each carrying its own personality. Best used at large sizes for headlines, with the three styles combined for expressive typographic contrast.
Classification
A high-contrast serif with old-style proportions and a marked calligraphic quality drawn from chancery hand traditions; its extreme contrast and display orientation place it firmly in the display serif category.
