Négligé specimen from Off Type

A high-contrast display serif by Valerio Monopoli that mixes geometric structure with swash capitals, stencil cuts and a variable font across five optical sizes.

About

Designed by Valerio Monopoli, the family spans five named sizes from XX Small to Large, each available in both a regular and stencil version, plus a variable cut. Swash capitals, curly alternates, discretionary ligatures and old-style figures sit alongside the contrasting strokes, giving it range for fashion, editorial and identity work. The stencil subfamily adds an alternative register without departing from the overall character.

Classification

A high-contrast serif with geometric underpinnings, decorative swash capitals and stencil variants; the dramatic thick-thin stroke contrast and ornamental features place it firmly in the display category.
