A contemporary slab serif in eight weights with matching italics, drawn from the entomology collections at the California Academy of Sciences and distinguished by mixed terminal styles, a distinctive double-storey g and a thorough OpenType feature set.
About
Bezzia takes its character from insect specimens rather than historical revivals, mixing sharp beak and rounded hook terminals across its letterforms. The design reduces serifs progressively in heavier weights to preserve negative space, and the double-storey g uses a continuous bowl-tail construction that sets it apart from genre conventions. Sixteen styles across eight weights give it range from detailed editorial text to headline use, backed by 200+ language support and features including oldstyle figures, dynamic fractions, f-ligatures in italic and circled figures.
Classification
Contemporary slab serif with two distinct terminal types – sharp beak and rounded hook – giving it tonal range within a single family. Progressive serif reduction at heavier weights protects negative space. Notable for a double-storey g with a continuous bowl-tail, squarish curves and varied serif shapes that read as organic rather than mechanical. Occupies the territory between editorial text and display use.
