Chakai
Latinotype · Jorge Cisterna, Latinotype Team · 2024
A hybrid semi-serif from Latinotype with soft serifs, controlled contrast and seven weights across two subfamilies – Chakai and Chakai Alt – totalling 28 styles.
About
Chakai sits between serif and sans, using soft serifs and defined horizontal strokes to achieve stability without rigidity. The controlled contrast and modern proportions make it functional in long-form editorial text as well as at larger display sizes for logos and packaging. The Alt subfamily offers an alternate set of 14 styles, doubling the range without introducing new weights.
Classification
Described as halfway between serif and sans, Chakai features soft serifs and defined horizontal strokes with controlled contrast, placing it in a hybrid or semi-serif category with humanist proportions suited to both text and display use.
