Cádiz specimen from Luzi Type

A revival of a film-setting serif from the 1960s Swiss magazine Du, refined into a six-weight family with italics and a variable font axis.

About

Drawn from a phototypesetting typeface used in Du magazine from 1960, Cádiz carries the compact proportions and restrained elegance characteristic of that era. Six weights run from Light to Black, each with a matching italic, and the family is also available as a variable font with a continuous Light-to-Black axis. OpenType features include contextual alternates, tabular figures, fractions and superscripts, with Latin Extended-A coverage across a broad range of European languages.

Classification

Derived from a film-setting serif used in Du magazine circa 1960, exhibiting the space-economy and refined detail typical of mid-century transitional serifs with early 20th-century typographic influences.
