About
Taiyo Serif's strong stroke contrast gives it a decisive character in headlines and titles, while remaining legible enough for body text in both print and digital contexts. The family spans seven weights from Light to Black, each with a matching italic, and covers more than 60 Latin-derived languages via a character set that includes diacritics, ligatures and symbols. The thematic concept draws on solar imagery, with the design conceived as an ode to the sun's solar flares.
Classification
