Rene specimen from type.today

A single-weight display serif built on a grid of rounded rectangles, pairing flat serifs and exaggerated ink traps with a pointed-nib stroke logic of wide verticals and narrow horizontals.

About

Rene sits on an almost classical skeleton but introduces a bitmap-like texture that gives it an unmistakably contemporary edge. The lowercase is upright and static, while the italic uppercase veers into expressive territory, creating a productive tension across the design. Despite its strong personality, the face remains functional, lending dynamism to layouts without overwhelming them.

Classification

A display serif with flat serifs and exaggerated ink traps, constructed on a grid of rounded rectangles. The pointed-nib logic produces wide verticals and narrow horizontals, placing it firmly in the display serif category with a distinctly experimental character.
