Quaria - A typeface in the change of time.
How do you combine the elegance of a serif typeface with the sturdiness of a sans serif? Finding my own answer took me three years. Quaria's DNA combines opposites, drawing from the rich pool of typographic elements from the last 200 years without dedicating itself to any specific era. It is a modern hybrid that can be both elegant and powerful. Quaria is inspired by the book covers you can find in antique shops (german: Antiquariat), a place where epochs collide, opposites are united and knowledge is exchanged.
