Colette Jumbo
Lux Typo · Greg Lindy · 2014
A two-weight display extension of the Colette family, amplifying its personality traits at extreme sizes rather than simply adding mass.
About
Colette Jumbo and Ultra Jumbo sit outside the practical weight continuum of the broader Colette Collection, freeing the design to be expressive rather than functional. Certain characteristics of the original Colette have been re-imagined at this scale, giving the Jumbo cuts a distinctive voice that can stand alone or complement the wider family. Each weight ships with a matching italic, for a total of four styles.
Classification
A heavyweight display serif positioned as an extension of the Colette family, with amplified personality traits that push it beyond practical text use into expressive, playful territory. The extreme weight and distinctive voice place it firmly in the display category.
