A single-weight display serif built around an unusually large set of discretionary ligatures and stylistic alternates.
About
Cesso offers one weight but compensates with an extensive OpenType feature set: dozens of uppercase and lowercase discretionary ligatures, two full stylistic sets, and a wide range of alternate letterforms. The ligature pairs range from common combinations like fi and fl through to multi-letter sequences such as THE and RAE, giving designers considerable latitude in headline and logotype work. Coverage extends across Latin Extended-A with diacritics for Western European languages.
Classification
Described by the foundry as a ligature-rich serif display font; the extensive discretionary ligatures and alternate character sets mark it as a decorative display face rather than a text serif.
