Céline Hurka Type Foundry · Céline Hurka · 2023
A variable display font of 26 initial capitals and figures, moving along a single weight axis between two styles named March and September, inspired by the seasonal cycle of water lilies.
About
Sweet Lily offers only uppercase initials and numerals, making it a typeface designed for ornamentation and titling rather than continuous text. Its variable axis shifts between March, the lighter extreme, and September, a heavier, denser form, mirroring the growth and disappearance of water lilies across seasons. The construction of the letterforms is based on Hurka's Tonka, ensuring the two typefaces work naturally together.
Classification
An ornamental display typeface consisting solely of 26 initial capitals and figures, designed with a variable weight axis that transitions between two named styles. Its highly stylised, illustrative letterforms place it firmly in the decorative display category.
