Sagiri

Flared serifs cut rather than drawn

Sagiri is a high-contrast serif typeface designed by Kotomi Morrill and released in 2026 through Blaze Type. Its strokes taper into sharp, flared terminals and it features a diamond-shaped dot on the lowercase i. The family spans seven weights from hairline to black, available as variable and static files for Latin European languages.

Insights

Terminals are described as cut rather than drawn, suggesting the flared serif construction references incised letterforms.
The diamond-shaped dot on the i is explicitly designed to register as a visual accent at large display sizes.
High contrast is paired with a round double-storey a and looping g to retain calligraphic warmth and prevent coldness.
