A single-weight extra bold display sans with oversized proportions and melted inner curves that sits somewhere between retro charm and clean contemporary weight.
About
Maltique is a chunky display sans designed by Azzam Ridhamalik of Zarma Type, released in 2026. Its defining detail is the contrast between sharp outer corners and smooth, rounded inner curves – a combination that softens the impact of very heavy strokes without losing authority. It covers 88+ Latin-based languages and suits branding, packaging and editorial headlines where a confident, personality-led voice is needed.
Classification
Single-weight extra bold display sans with oversized proportions and heavy strokes. Sharp outer corners contrast with smooth, melted inner curves – a detail that gives the letterforms warmth despite their bulk. No italic, condensed or mono variants. PUA-encoded alternates included.
