Zerno specimen from Mint Type

A glyphic serif with symmetrical flared serifs drawn from stone-carving traditions, available across nine weights with matching italics for use from poster to body copy.

About

Zerno sits on a geometric skeleton while its wedge-like flared serifs echo lapidary inscription work, giving it a distinctive character that is neither purely classical nor coldly modern. The family spans nine weights from Thin to Black, each with an italic companion, totalling 18 styles. This range makes it adaptable across contexts where a serif with structural clarity and visual personality is needed.

Classification

A glyphic typeface with symmetrical flared serifs derived from lapidary stone-carving traditions, set on a geometric skeleton. The flared terminals and wedge-like serifs place it firmly in the glyphic or incised serif category.
