Marat by Ludwig รbele began as a sans serif and gradually morphed into lively serif forms. Moderate contrast and strong serifs give the lighter weights a typewriter-like slab quality, while the underlying structure follows contemporary Antiqua proportions. Alternating angular and rounded corners keep it soft and friendly, and tense curves complement the roman cuts.

Borax revives that tension between restraint and personality, and the quirkiness that comes with it.
