About
Designed by Slobodan Jelesijević and released in 2015, Jeles draws on classic high-contrast serif traditions and updates them with soft corners and rounded slab serifs for a contemporary feel. The family spans seven styles across Normal and Condensed widths, with the upright cuts carrying authority for headlines and the italics lending a livelier character to subheadings. Its sturdy thin strokes make it practical for both screen and print, and the decorative quality suits branding work in fashion, jewellery and food.
Classification
A high-contrast serif with round slab serifs, ball terminals and soft corners, designed primarily for display use. The strong thick-thin contrast and decorative detailing place it firmly in the display category despite readable text settings.
