Freya – Antiqua typeface

Typedesign · Specimen · Packaging

Freya typeface is inspired by classic Antiqua serif typefaces such as the famous „Caslon“ or „Didot“ which are almost three decades old. With great attention to detail and an unique approach, Freya is a modern interpretation of an old classic with its very own personality. Freya is created in a consistent gradient of styles to ensure best functionality for Headlines and Text. Through its sharpness and elegant construction the typeface set its context in the field of lifestyle and fashion. Its features are carefully balanced to create a modern and novel appearance.
