Larken is a confident serif.
Designed to reflect nature, it creates a sense of natural softness and expressiveness. We pushed the concept into a usability focused direction, to works as a bold tool and beautiful communicator.
Larken essentials allows fluid, elegant design in four styles, supporting all major latin based languages. True italics advance the aesthetics, bringing energy and making it suitable for modern application.
The type family melds organic curves and gentle repetition into powerful and harmonious type. At large point sizes you can appreciate the letter shapes, whilst the same restraint and focus creates an even texture for small point sizes and long reading.
Natural curves, swells and sloping trunks, grow in character as the font gains weight. Whilst the lighter weights have lowered contrast and optical corrections to create a warm and gentle appearance.
The Larken character set incorporates numerous opentype features – additional symbols, stylistic alternates, unique ligatures both standard and discretionary and case sensitive punctuation – producing a stable workhorse family ready to tackle projects of any size.
