A two-style geometric display family by Peter Roeleveld, pairing a grounded roman with an angular, blade-inspired italic that functions as an independent redesign rather than a conventional slanted companion.
About
Bastiro is built on shared bar heights across both styles, allowing select glyphs to align and interact when the two are combined. The Regular offers confident geometry and stable rhythm for bold display use, while the Italic takes its cues from the clean geometry of Stanley blades, with sharp, forward-angled forms that carry a sense of aerodynamic tension. With 363 glyphs covering Latin European characters, the family includes diacritics, ligatures, currency, arrows and mathematical symbols.
Classification
A bold geometric display family with two purpose-built styles; the italic is a complete redesign rather than a slanted roman, with angular, blade-inspired forms that give it a distinct aggressive character suited to display and motion contexts.
