Lucifer Bold Italic
Lucifer features contemporary aesthetics while being deeply rooted in a lesser-known part of Swiss design history. The typeface has an almost menacing appearance. Its sharp, expressive serifs and overall organic look are inspired by the hand-lettering of Swiss designer Robert Stöcklin in his poster for the Schweizer Mustermesse Basel in 1924.
While Lucifer takes many of the unique visual qualities of its historical reference material, it is also optimised for the demands of contemporary design professionals. Its expressive aesthetic excels in wordmarks, headlines, and poster designs. At the same time, the type system works just as well in various kinds of running text, which makes it a respectable, unique workhorse type family.
The type family consists of 8 cuts, which are Regular, Medium, SemiBold, and Bold accompanied by their respective italics. In addition, it supports a wide range of Latin-based languages, including Vietnamese and Standard Mandarin Chinese via the official romanisation system Pinyin to ensure the usability of the typeface in a broader international context.
This typeface was funded by Pro Helvetia, Swiss Art Council.
