Cambre

Cambre (pronounced ‘kambər) is based on the French word cambré, a ballet term meaning “arched.” Evoking the bends and curves of a dancer, Cambre is an elegant and playful modern display serif.

Inspired by the looping “a” in Victor Artis’ Kaftan, letterforms are meant to emphasize and push the boundaries of a glyph’s bends and curves.

Cambre was hand drawn and refined on paper, later being translated to digital.
