The Lapis series of text types is a type family best suited to the handling of advertising text and display than that of bookwork. Its angular “edgy” curves give it a kind of tenseness. The design is based on, though not strictly an Egyptian style letter. The serifs are somewhat slabbed, but are tapered just slightly in a kind of a latin-type serif. The design is made in three weights, with a full complement of refinements and small cap fonts.
