Saggi

We* made Saggi because Janson felt so dusty… So here it is: a fresh interpretation of Nicholas Kis’ sweet, rationalist, transitional letterforms, based on the meticulous research of a splendid Florentine folio.** Saggi is serious and lively while retaining the understated quirks of the metal type. It is geared for complex texts with broad language support and opentype features, yet it is not afraid of poster-size use. This typeface is relatively compact without abandoning its classical proportions: contemporary, Baroque and unintentionally beautiful. * Designed by Géza Sipos & Nóra Békés ** This revival was based on Saggi di naturali esperienze [Essays of natural experiments, Firenze, 1691] [futurefonts.com]
