About
A narrow sans-serif by Martin Vacha released in November 2020, derived from Dazzed by closing the open terminals of that family. Seven weights run from Thin to Heavy with matching italics, fourteen styles total, plus a variable cut on Slant and Weight axes. Letterforms shift between comic, grotesque, dramatic and quirky moments in a, e, C and G and technical, cold, sci-fi cut-offs in t, f and r. Rounded accent dots sit against squared punctuation for clearer recognition.
Classification
Displaay describes Lazzer as a sans-serif with narrow proportions, based on Dazzed but with the open terminals closed. The lineage runs through Dazzed, drawn originally as a bespoke face for a cinematic project covering comic, dramatic, technical, action, crime and sci-fi tones.
