About
Designed by French type and graphic designer Lucas Descroix, Fragen bridges text and display use through a slab construction that balances lively detail against typographic stability. The family's 16 styles span Thin to Black with matching italics, and the character set of 755 glyphs includes proportional oldstyle figures, small caps, discretionary ligatures, alternate letterforms and decorative patterns. Broad Latin language support covers over 80 languages, from Vietnamese to Zulu.
Classification
The foundry describes Fragen as a text-display hybrid with a strong slab flavour, placing it squarely in the slab serif category. The spirited italics and mix of text and display utility suggest a contemporary humanist slab approach.
