Cosi Azure
Nikolas Type · Nikolas Wrobel · 2019
A radically contrasted display typeface by Nikolas Wrobel, spinning off Cosi Times with jagged pointed forms and heavy irregular masses drawn from Mediterranean landscapes.
About
Released in 2019, Cosi Azure pairs delicate pointed letterforms against bold, uneven strokes in a deliberately anti-modular approach to type design. The four styles range from Bold through to a Black Stencil variant, giving the family an expressive range suited to editorial headlines and cultural branding. Its character comes from the tension between refined and rough, reportedly drawn from personal experience of Sardinia and Corsica.
Classification
Cosi Azure is a radically contrasted display typeface with delicate pointed forms set against bold irregular chunks, placing it firmly in the high-contrast display category rather than any conventional serif or sans tradition.
