Information
Epicene Text & Display are Baroque typefaces inspired by the work of two 18th century maestros: J-F. Rosart and J.M. Fleischmann. Typographically, Epicene’s exaggerated details add rigour at small sizes and vigour at large sizes. Culturally Epicene says one thing: typefaces have no gender.
