Seraphine

Didone meets variable-font flexibility across four optical sizes

Seraphine is a Didone-style type family designed by Karol Mularczyk, released in 2025 under Blaze Type. It spans 9 weights (Thin to Black) across 4 optical sizes, with true italics and decorative stylistic sets. The family is fully variable, exposing weight, width, and slant axes. The foundry describes it as suited to editorial, branding, and packaging work.

Insights

Four distinct optical sizes are built into the family, addressing readability across both small and large text.
The variable font exposes three axes—weight, width, and slant—enabling fine-grained typographic adjustment.
True italics preserve the slant and flow characteristic of traditional Didone design, rather than relying on slanted romans.
