Saku specimen from 6TM Magazine

A single-weight warm serif by Peter Roeleveld, designed for gravestone lettering and carrying its softened forms well into decorative display use.

About

Saku was conceived for memorial stonecutting, with soft serifs intended to bring warmth to names carved in cold stone. The design translates to decorative display contexts, backed by 430 glyphs, ligatures and four stylistic sets. It ships as a single Roman cut with no italic, condensed or mono companion.

Classification
