About
Designed by Enrique Hernández and released in 2023, Vanguardia distinguishes itself from conventional serifs through its low stroke contrast and aggressively styled terminals on letters such as a, e, c and their uppercase counterparts. The diagonal cuts throughout the letterforms give the family a sharp, contemporary character suited to high-impact uses including logos, packaging and title typography. The 16-style family covers more than 200 Latin languages and includes a basic Cyrillic set.
Classification
A monolinear serif with low stroke contrast and exaggerated, dramatically cut terminals. The diagonal cuts and sculptural serifs place it firmly in the display serif territory despite covering a broad weight range.
