The Chaparral™ typeface is a hybrid, combining the sturdiness of geometric slab serif designs with sixteenth century Roman lettershapes and proportions. The result shares overtones with old style typefaces – but with less contrast in stroke weights. Calligraphic suggestions in several letters also add to the design’s personality.

Chapparal

The Chaparral family is available in four weights, each with a spirited italic counterpart, in regular and caption designs – the latter intended for use at small text sizes. The design is clear and readable at text settings while remaining subtle and lively at display sizes.

“Chaparral shares overtones with old style typefaces – but with less contrast in stroke weights. Calligraphic suggestions in several letters also add to the design’s personality.”
