Font Specimen – Areo Serif

This typeface is the result of a month long process. I started from an old Venetian character: Jenson. After having traced the midline and created so a skeleton of each letter I proceeded with the creation of an adequate set of brushes that gave different widths to each stroke. Mantaining a criterion between all the letters the fon came out balanced and well composed. I applied then a set of serifs, I decided to give a stronger and more aggressive look compared to the original font. That’s why I added angled serifs that have straight cuts and are not tapered.
