About
Matiere draws on calligraphic motion and mid-century references to produce a high-contrast display serif with what Rellence calls "brutal precision and elegant airiness." It runs six weights in both standard and condensed widths, backed by a two-axis variable font covering weight and width. The family suits branding, editorial, packaging and luxury contexts where typographic presence needs to hold at large sizes.
