Cardone, developed between 2016 and 2021, is a unique interpretation of the early modern Scottish faces, later called Scotch Roman. Created specifically for editorial design, this serif typeface seeks an ideal balance between elegance and robustness: its broad curves contrast with the brutality of its lines and the verticality of its axis. Cardone's five weights, from Thin to Bold, each with its own italic, have been designed separately to emphasize the uniqueness of its design. Without sacrificing the elegance of modern Scottish faces, each style is taken to the point of extreme simplicity and efficiency, both in its structure and in every formal detail. Functional and legible, the typeface has been designed primarily for use with continuous text. However, the consistent thickness of Thin or, conversely, the stark contrast of Bold allows Cardone to stand out when used in headings.
