Solæ Typeface

Solæ is a personal interpretation of Romain du Roi, a typeface originally designed at the request of King Louis XIV. Inspired by the Sun King, the name “Solæ” evokes the vastness of the solar system and the cosmos. The design is influenced by planets, stars, and comets, capturing the delicate beauty of the Milky Way, the trails of meteorites, and the constellations. The result is an alphabet featuring elegant lines, thousands of ligatures, and subtle contrasts. A Rotalic version complements the Light style. With a 9° rotation, this style echoes celestial orbits, offering a refined alternative to the traditional italic. Solæ covers 100 languages including all european languages and vietnamese with over 2108 glyphs. Solar includes a highly complete range of glyphs and open type features with normal lowercases, 102 ligatured lowercases (with inclusive writing), normal uppercases, small uppercases, 730 ligatured uppercases, 4 styles of numbers and adaptative diacritics.
