Typeface Design for MVSEVM
Roman imperial carving as the basis for a sans-serif uppercase
MVSEVM is a sans-serif family in five weights designed for headlines and text. The uppercase draws on hand-carved Roman imperial letterforms (27 BC – AD 395), and the lowercase was designed to complement that historical reference while adding a contemporary feel.
Insights
- The uppercase is directly rooted in hand-carved Roman imperial letter traditions, citing a specific historical period (27 BC – AD 395) rather than a generalised classical influence.
- A dedicated lowercase was constructed to match the historically derived uppercase while introducing a contemporary quality.
