Introducing the Atlante font family, a serif typeface of beautiful excess from Yorlmar Campos and Martín Sesto. Just as a handsaw and a hammer can together build something better than either could alone, different tools used for different reasons can often create a final hybrid product better inclined for more uses. This was the thought behind Atlante: the two writing tools of the flat pen and flexible pen, normally used for different purposes, informed its design to make it more aesthetic. Thus, Atlante taps into the rich typographic and stylistic history of baroques, Garaldes, transitional, and modern categories, while still being its own thing. It’s the definition of a perfectly blended family.
The first thing likely noticed is the sharpness and precision of Atlante’s forms, which makes sense, as it originally stemmed from the idea of an italic-only family. Care was taken with the extreme weights and delicate contrast to maintain its sophistication in pixel and on paper.
The entire family feels comfortingly familiar while being a fresh take on a text and display companion. The display styles push the ideas to either edge: more contrast, sharper, more flowing, more presence. Compare the ‘a, s’ in both styles to see it transition from svelte to sturdy.
