About
Taberna pairs two weights each of a serif and a sans-serif with inline and shadow variants, creating a layered system of 20 styles suited to headlines, posters and logotypes. A companion monolinear script completes the family, designed to complement the heavy caps of the roman cuts. The design pulls its character from bar signage and street wear traditions, giving it a robust vernacular personality at display sizes.
Classification
