Convexion specimen from Typogama

A three-weight humanist serif from Michael Parson that uses convex letterforms to fuse classical serif structure with expressive script influences.

About

Released in July 2019, Convexion is built around a personal investigation into convex forms within serif type design. The italics draw explicitly from cursive lettering traditions, giving the family a distinctive warmth suited to both display headlines and running text. OpenType features include multiple numeral styles, ligatures and alternate glyphs, with extended Latin coverage across ISO Latin 1 through 4.

Classification

A humanist serif that blends classical serif structure with convex letterforms borrowed from script lettering traditions. The cursive-inspired italics reinforce its humanist character.
