Calluna – a text typeface with flow
Calluna is my first attempt to make a (serious) text typeface and it is the fruit of 1.5 years of work. Be sure to read more about it in the carefully designed Calluna PDF specimen (272 KB). Calluna comes in 8 styles: 5 weights and 3 italics. Calluna is spaced and kerned with Igino Marini's iKern service.
What's with the flow?
Calluna started out as a little test I did to see if I could add serifs to Museo, to make a slab serif. Because of its pipe bend serifs I suddenly saw the connection between serif and stem, and some sort of direction. I thought that the direction idea might be a nice theme to shape Calluna as a text typeface with flow.
