Chroma
Swiss modernism reinterpreted through a contemporary lens
Chroma is a slightly extended sans serif by Selina Bernet, spanning weights from black display to text. Its initial inspiration came from a poster found in Armin Hofmann's Graphic Design Manual (1965), with Bernet reinterpreting that mid-century Swiss aesthetic through a contemporary lens. The typeface circulated in pre-release form before its official launch through Source Type, marking Bernet's debut retail family.
