About
Designed by Salvador Rodriguez and Diego Aravena, Ulises spans nine weights from Thin to Heavy with matching italics, giving 18 styles in total. The family mixes slab serif structure with grotesque characteristics, a combination the foundry says widens its range of use across graphic design, publishing, web and motion work. Typefaces such as Shift, Brioni, Skolar and Malaga are cited as inspirations, situating Ulises within a contemporary editorial serif tradition.
Classification
Described explicitly as an eclectic slab serif with grotesque features, drawing on a modern serif tradition. The mix of slab structure with grotesque influences places it in an eclectic or hybrid slab category.
