Display Typeface for Loud, Approachable Applications
Torn edges as a design system
Damson is a heavy display typeface designed by Sabina Chipară at Dalton Maag, completed in 2026. Its defining characteristic is tactile torn-edge details throughout the letterforms. The family targets a wide tonal range—from organic food packaging and punk ephemera to children's publishing and editorial illustration—while remaining approachable despite its loud weight. It covers Latin script across more than 780 languages.
