A modular display typeface by Michael Parson designed to generate a playful, textured effect when set in blocks of text.

About

Released in November 2014, Elsuave is built around a modular construction that prioritises visual rhythm over conventional legibility, making it suited to headlines and short decorative copy. It ships as a single Regular weight in OTF and WOFF2 formats with broad Latin character coverage including extended Western European accented glyphs. The typeface is available free for non-commercial use.

Classification
