Texicali is a new multiple weight type design based on our FontMesa logo, the idea was simple, create a sans serif with a few slab serifs added resulting in a style that could feel at home just about anywhere.
The regular set works well for general use while the Alt set is perfect for when you want to add a little country charm.
There’s a few additional alternate letters built in which are easily accessed using Adobe Creative Suite products such as Illustrator and In Design.
The X version, with its higher x-height lowercase, is ideal for signage where you want the look of a lowercase, however you want a sign that’s readable from the street.
Larger x-heights also come in handy for web use helping to make the text more readable on smaller devices.
Some foundries refer to these fonts as e-text, but we’re simply identifying them with a large X.
