Ferro
Plain Form · 2026
A 24-style serif family that stages a progressive digital decay across four numbered stages, moving from composed Renaissance-inflected letterforms toward texture, noise and distortion.
About
Each of the four numbered stages within Ferro represents a step further from its historical serif origins, with Regular, Italic and Black weights carried through every stage of that transformation. The family remains usable for extended reading in its earliest stages, grounded by proportions drawn from traditional models, while its later stages lean into glitch and erosion. Ferro Mono accompanies the proportional family with 12 matching styles, extending its range into tabular and coding contexts.
Classification
Ferro roots itself in Renaissance and historical serif structures before progressively distorting those forms across four numbered stages; the underlying model is a measured historical serif eroded toward digital noise.
