About
Turquoise draws on Capitalis Romana practice and foundational calligraphy, each letter formed with a broad-edged brush to produce characteristic unfinished terminal serifs. It ships with small caps, discretionary ligatures, swashes and nature-inspired ornaments via OpenType, making it well suited to headlines, luxury packaging and visual identities. In use it has appeared on Hanbury Gin, olive oil branding and theatrical advertising.
