Branding with Type · Alberto Romanos · 2016
A stencil version of the Bw Darius wedge serif, offered in six weights from Light to Black with high contrast and wide proportions suited to display use.
About
Sitting between the transitional and didone genres, Bw Darius Stencil carries the high stroke contrast and wide skeleton of its parent family while adding stencil bridges that give it a distinct character. The tall x-height and open apertures keep it legible at both display sizes and in body text, and the six-weight range from Light to Black allows for tonal variety within a consistent visual voice. It pairs with the non-stencil Bw Darius for brands that need flexibility across contexts.
Classification
A stencil variant of a high-contrast wedge serif, sitting between transitional and didone genres. The stencil treatment and display-oriented proportions place it firmly in the display category.
