Recoleta specimen from Latinotype

A rounded display serif by Jorge Cisterna that blends 1970s references — Cooper's softness and Windsor's angled strokes — into a single family spanning seven weights across two stylistic subfamilies.

About

Recoleta draws explicitly from popular 1970s typefaces, combining Cooper's gentle curves with the fluid, angled strokes of Windsor to produce a warm, retro-inflected display face. Seven weights span from Thin to Black, with lighter cuts suited to body text and heavier weights aimed at headlines. Two subfamilies — Basic and Alt — provide stylistic alternates that allow for differentiation in logo and branding contexts, with Cyrillic support added following the typeface's initial release.

Classification

A display serif with rounded, soft letterforms drawing from 1970s typefaces such as Cooper and Windsor. The organic, slightly retro character places it firmly in the display serif category rather than a text serif tradition.
