Baghira
Identity Letters · Christian Gruber
A contemporary serif by Christian Gruber with wedge-shaped serifs and true italics, suited to editorial, book and corporate work across print and screen.
About
Baghira carries smoothly drawn curves, precisely placed corners and rectangular dots, with no historical model as its reference. Its wedge serifs create a horizontal drive in running text without drawing attention to themselves, making it practical across body copy and headline sizes. Eight fonts across four weights with matching italics, small caps, multiple figure sets and discretionary ligatures give it sufficient range for single-typeface brand systems.
Classification
A contemporary serif with wedge-shaped serifs and true italics that allude to calligraphic roots, but deliberately avoids historical models, placing it in the contemporary rather than transitional or old-style category.
