Geneo specimen from Typofonderie

An oblique-axis slab serif blending Renaissance elegance with 19th-century Egyptian slab robustness.

About

Geneo sits halfway between classic Garamond and Transitional forms and the Egyptian slab serifs popular in the 19th century, its subtle contrast built on an oblique construction axis rather than a vertical one. Nine weights with italics earned Stéphane Elbaz a Type Directors Club Certificate of Excellence.

Classification

A slab serif built on an oblique construction axis, sitting between Garamond-style transitional forms and 19th-century Egyptian slab serifs such as Rockwell or Boton.
