- Description
- Originally developed as Ascender Serif by Steve Matteson, Caladea is part of the ClearType Font Collection released with Windows Vista. The font is characterized by its strong diagonal and vertical hairlines, while horizontal serifs are small to emphasize stroke endings rather than stand out themselves. This principle is most noticeable in the italics where the lowercase characters are subdued in style. Caladea is a transitional slab-serif hybrid that is suitable for various design applications due to its readability at different sizes and resolutions.
Best Use Cases
- Website and app interfaces
- Editorial design
- Corporate branding
Usage Instructions
To use Caladea in your designs, consider it for body text on websites or apps to ensure readability. It can also be used effectively in editorial design projects for its transitional style.
