Sybarite Font Family - Dafont Free

Sybarite Serif Font is a fat face type that suits any size. Bolder capitals with forward leaning curves and straight unbracketed serifs are dramatic, assertive even, while smaller minimal are friendly, even sweet. Sybarite is James Puckett’s reinterpretation of the fat face that is found in the 1829 specimen of Alonzo W. Kinsley’s Franklin Letter Foundry. Kinsley’s was an extremely short-lived and an unprofitable store. It started in 1825 (some scholars argue that it started in 1829) and closed in 1832 after Kinsley’s death.

Designs with high-contrast like Sybarite have very fine hairlines that do not work well when the type is scaled up or down. A hairline which is thin enough to retain its hairline at larger sizes is not visible at smaller sizes. So a hairline serif drawing is for the small text while at large text sizes it becomes a slab serif. This means that solving this problem would require the development of optical weights; fonts that are optimized for a given size just as there were with metal typefaces.
