A high-contrast display serif by Manushi Parikh, released in 2015, drawing on the Anglo-Dutch tradition of Caslon and Fleischmann while extending to Devanagari and Tamil scripts.
About
Designed for headlines, article introductions and packaging rather than continuous text, Begum balances a contemporary sensibility with the proportions and stroke contrast of historical Anglo-Dutch types. Five weights with true italics give the family range for editorial and branding applications. Its inclusion in a multiscript superfamily supporting Devanagari and Tamil broadens its practical reach considerably.
Classification
A display serif with pronounced stroke contrast, sharing DNA with Anglo-Dutch types such as Caslon, Fleischmann and Times. Its ultra-contemporary character and high contrast place it firmly in the display serif tradition rather than text use. Also sold in Devanagari, Tamil versions.
