Typeface Design for Gaisyr

Gaisyr is a refined serif typeface created by Dinamo, inspired by 18th-century sketches from royal typographer Jacques Jaugeon. The design balances geometric precision with expressive, hand-drawn gestures, resulting in a contemporary yet historically rooted font available in proportional, monospaced, and semi-monospaced styles.
