About
Esoteric Typeface combines the architectural weight of Roman capitals with decorative details borrowed from illuminated manuscripts, resulting in a distinctive headline face with dramatic curves and unconventional serifs. The single weight is supplemented by stylistic alternates and ligatures, giving designers some compositional flexibility. Coverage extends across the Latin European character set with diacritics, making it usable across Western European languages.
