Cardea was designed by David Cabianca and released by Emigre.
Cardea includes 12 designs and family bundle options. p > The
Cardea household of typefaces is the outcome of David Cabianca's 2003-- 04 MA Typeface Design experience at the University of Reading. With
Cardea, Cabianca meant to blend classical and modern attributes, and while doing so he created a typeface that "sparkles" on the page, with high contrast, luster and crisp edges. The result is a type with a muscular or sculptural feel much like the work of artists like Arne Quinze or Mark di Suvero.
Cardea was developed to work as a text face. It features 3 weights each with accompanying italics, small caps and a range of ligatures.
