Nuances Serif Free

After one and a half year of work the project has finally reached its final destination and can starts its new life as a proud serif font!

Nuances is a very rich Serif family, with a highly expressive and resolutely modern design. Born from personal research on typographic design and aesthetic detail, Nuances is a sharp serif font family with strong contrast and generous curves. With a particular attention to the design of each glyph, this font family is meant to be used in large sizes. This typeface is to be experienced, shown, read and seen through its elegance shapes, and confidence.

Nuances can also be appreciated for its playfulness due to its diversity and large character set. Ranging from Condensed Thin to Extended Black, this font family is available in 3 Widths and 8 Weights with matching italics. The wide range of its styles (48) offers an infinite potential for text layouts combining width, weights, contrasts and styles to create original and sophisticated graphic compositions. A proper adaptative typeface family, it would be as adequate to a luxury brand as to a poster for movies, or even a packaging for grocery stores’ items.

The technical and aesthetic constraints brought by the variable aspect of the font played a capital importance in the drawing. The curves and contrasts keep a unity throughout the width and become more and more generous as the font goes blacker.

The thinner the design is, the more prominent the serifs are, and the blacker it is, the less present they are, allowing a tighter space. The typeface then offers a very different visual experience depending on the style, from sharp and precise to a much richer and denser appearance when getting darker. The drawing of the italic was an occasion to join the main characteristics of the roman with a strong velocity (slant angle) that would bring a powerful contrast in graphic creations.
