Symphony

By Caroline Lima · São José do Rio Preto, Brazil

Symphony

Symphony is a type family of two styles and eight weights inspired by calligraphic designs and movements found in nature, dance and the notes of a musical score. Seeking to bring lightness and rhythm, it presents long ascenders and descenders, moderate contrast. It has more modern and condensed letterform proportions and calligraphic details. Symphony can be used in digital and printed media and projects, such as posters and invitations. Symphony represents the high and low notes of a lifetime.
