Introducing Bastia – a brand new serif with a bonus sans for perfect pairing! I am constantly combining sans and serifs in my design work, and wanted to create the perfect combo for you too!
Bastia is a classy, bold upper and lowercase typeface that looks incredible in both large and small settings. Best used as a display for headings and logos, Bastia's clean lines and smooth curves give any project an extra touch of class.
See how it looks when used for body text in the 12th sample image above. I also love combining Bastia and Halifax for minimal logos (see the "Lucky Finch" sample logo - all the heart eyes!).
This download also includes a special outline version of the serif, so you can layer text or add some flair to your logos and display type.
There are also alternates available for "k" and "s" that give each letter some extra curves (available via the special characters panel; see this article for help accessing them: https://www.macworld.com/article/3052388/how-to-access-advanced-opentype-features-in-a-variety-of-mac-apps.html )
You'll also get Halifax Regular sans as a bonus – this has been my favorite font to pair with Bastia throughout its development, and I wanted you to have access to such a pretty pair! I recommend using Halifax as body text for websites and documents, and using Bastia for headings, logos, and other bigger design elements :)
One thing to note about Bastia is the letter spacing. It was intentionally spaced for clean reading if you wanted to use it for body type, so I recommend setting the spacing a little tighter for display use (around -10 to -20 should do!).
