RST Silvestre is an innovative variable typeface with two main axes: vertical and horizontal weight. Its groundbreaking feature is the horizontal weight, which allows users to modify the typeface&#x27;s serif contrast. Silvestre’s distinct personality shines at its extreme weights, while the intermediate styles invite playful experimentation, offering flexibility for a wide range of uses, from bold headlines to clean text.Due to its experimental nature, traditional style names didn’t capture its essence. Instead, a naming system was created, with combinations like Sharp, Blunt, Solid, Strong, paired with Light, Regular, Bold, Black, and more.Silvestre draws from two contrasting influences: the industrial robustness of 19th-century wood type, providing timeless strength, and the funky essence of 1960s psychedelic posters. This blend gives Silvestre its playful, energetic character, perfect for dynamic typographic expressions.
