About
A serif by Fabian Harb with Michelangelo Nigra carrying Dinamo's house butterfly serifs, taking its point of departure from sketches by Jacques Jaugeon, the early 18th-century royal typographer for Louis XIV. Holds a tension between strict geometric rationality and looped, hand-held gestures, and runs across six weights plus italics in proportional, monospaced and semi-monospaced cuts, with Greek and Cyrillic extensions.
