About
Released in 2024 by Trulytype, Dakota Serif is a single-weight serif that leans into intentional irregularity, drawing inspiration from the contours of the human body and the ephemeral print culture of vintage fashion. The design aims for a balance between refinement and idiosyncrasy, suited to editorial, branding or fashion contexts that want a serif with personality rather than neutrality. Latin Extended coverage spans a wide range of European and African languages.
Classification
