Insigne’s popular Aviano series returns with Aviano Serif . Aviano Serif features the same classically inspired and extended proportions of Aviano , but instead of the brush drawn forms of the original, Aviano Serif features a more geometric take with small, sharp serifs. Aviano Serif is perfect for mastheads, headlines and powerful logotypes. The Aviano Serif family includes four weights for a wide array of design possibilities. All weights feature 40 OpenType ligatures, old styles figures, 28 alternate characters and 10 eagle ornaments for unique, custom designs.

Kasuga , Japanese for spring day, is a contemporary script with eastern influence. Kasuga’s pointed and fluid brush strokes evoke the orient with just a hint of the west. Kasuga is perfect for designs that need an Asian atmosphere.
