A slab serif in 8 weights with matching italics, drawn with a naturalist precision inspired by entomological collections at the California Academy of Sciences.
About
Lettermatic describe Bezzia as a new evolution of the slab serif, with its design vocabulary rooted in the entomology collections at the California Academy of Sciences. Sixteen styles run from Hairline to Ultra with matching italics, and the design distinguishes itself through a continuous bowl-and-tail on the 'g', a split-bar fraction system, and selective serif omission at heavier weights to protect interior negative space. Coverage runs to 200-plus languages, with lining and old-style figures, tabular figures, circled figures and directional arrows rounding out an extensive glyph set.
Classification
Bezzia is explicitly described as a slab serif typeface. Its design mixes sharp beak terminations with round hook terminations, and features distinctive slab serifs throughout, placing it firmly in the slab category.
