A modular display face by Damien Gautier that combines four serif treatments – including none, triangular and two rectangular variants – within a single character, enabling up to 256 per-glyph combinations via five variable font files.
About
Each letter in CX80 draws from four independent serif registers – sans, triangular, sharp rectangular and smooth rectangular – which the user can mix freely across a word or set to one consistent style. The family comprises five subfamilies (including the mixed-serif master) each in Light, Regular and Bold, plus variable font counterparts covering a weight axis. The name references Jean Alessandrini's 1980 Codex 80 type classification and channels the 1980s moped-modding culture of Gautier's youth.
Classification
CX80 is a modular display typeface in which four distinct serif styles – none, triangular, sharp rectangular and smooth rectangular – can be mixed freely per letter, yielding up to 256 per-glyph combinations. Its composite, system-like construction places it firmly in the experimental display category.
