Caravelas Display
A contemporary serif
typeface inspired by the elegant contrasts
of traditional expansion models such as
the Didones. With its high contrast and distinctive
teardrop terminals, Caravelas seamlessly 
blends classic sophistication with modern 
design sensibilities. This typeface is crafted to evoke a literary charm.

This project was created during the course of type design at Cooper Union in 2024.
