About Aire 

Aire is a delicately sophisticated serif typeface that brings elegance, lightness, whimsy, and a touch of playful charm to display typography. With crisp contrast, sculptural curves, open shapes, and whimsical style alternates, Aire offers a graceful balance of refinement and flourish, perfect for anchoring an entire composition.

Created by Sproviero Type, Aire is a contemporary take on the modern serif tradition, drawing from the refined elegance of Bodoni while softening its rigidity. It retains the high contrast and sculptural forms of its historical roots but adds a sense of lightness, openness, and playful sophistication. Where Bodoni is formal and austere, Aire is expressive and graceful, bringing a more lyrical touch and a sense of whimsicalness to display typography without losing the timeless beauty of its origins.

My favorite part about Aire is that it has many whimsical alternate glyphs, perfect for crafting the perfect airy and elegant tone. Aire features three weights in both regular and italic styles, complemented by elegant stylistic alternates and crisp strokes that bring a sense of grace and refinement. Whether for dazzling editorial headlines, a sparkling title sequence, or shimmering packaging, Aire is a showstopper.
