About
A humanist serif by Mat Desjardins and Morgane Vantorre, originally drawn in collaboration with London studio Two Times Elliott as a homage to Hatton Garden, the city's diamond quarter. The drawing distils street signage, shop fronts and hand-rendered imperfections into a variable family of nine upright weights and matching true italics, totalling eighteen styles plus a variable cut. Refined proportions and adjusted contrast give the dark weights an engaging rhythm, and a sackful of new glyphs widens the typographic range.
