Cosmetic specimen from Indian Type Foundry

A high-contrast sans serif by Jean-Baptiste Morizot, designed for fashion and beauty applications, with Didone-inspired stroke drama and slightly extended proportions across five weights.

About

Cosmetic takes its cues from early 19th-century French Didot letterforms, most notably in the double-storey lowercase 'g', which is offered alongside a more conventional alternate via OpenType. The slightly extended proportions give each letter room to display its fine hairline-to-bold contrast cleanly. Five weights from Thin to Black provide range for packaging, branding and editorial use within the luxury and beauty sectors.

Classification

A high-contrast sans serif with Didone-influenced stroke contrast, particularly visible in the distinctive double-storey lowercase 'g' referencing early 19th-century Didot forms. Despite extreme thick-thin contrast typical of Didone serifs, the letterforms are unseriffed throughout.
