Arise
Paulo Goode · Paulo Goode · 2020
A 18-font humanist serif with blade-like hooked terminals, 38 capital swash alternates and nine weights in roman and italic, suitable for both text and display use.
About
Arise is built around a distinctive set of hooked, blade-like terminals visible in glyphs such as /a/, /c/, /f/, /g/, /r/ and /y/, giving the family a restrained but recognisable character. Nine weights run from ExtraLight to Ultra across both roman and italic cuts, and 38 capital swash alternates extend its range into titling and branding contexts. Small caps with matching diacritics are included, designed to sit alongside lowercase forms for unicase-style setting.
Classification
Classified as a humanist serif, with pen-drawn origins visible in its hooked, blade-like terminals and organic stroke modulation. The design bridges text and display use, a common trait of humanist serifs that retain calligraphic influence.
