PSY/OPS Type Foundry · RXC
A deliberately eccentric display serif by RXC that wraps distorted, rubberised forms around a Bookman-adjacent transitional skeleton, with each weight split into two variants offering progressively wilder alternates.
About
Each of the eight fonts pairs a primary style with a 'Two' counterpart packed with additional eccentric glyph variants, giving designers granular control over how far to push the eccentricity. Exaggerated dewlap details on swash characters openly reference and subvert the Bookman tradition. The character set covers Western and Eastern European languages, with stylistic alternates and ligatures included across all styles.
Classification
A decorative display typeface with exaggerated swash elements built on a transitional serif framework, distorted with organic, rubberised forms. Its outlandish dewlaps and eccentric alternates place it firmly in the display category.
