Solae
Details
Solæ is a font shaped by the movement of planets, stars, and cosmic trajectories. Designed with delicate lines and subtle contrasts, it draws references from celestial bodies and translates them into a contemporary, carefully built type system.
Solæ is a revival inspired by the historic Romain du Roi, the typeface commissioned by the Louis XIV, the Sun King (Roi Soleil) himself, from whom the name Solæ is inspired.
Solæ features thousands of meticulously designed ligatures and alternate forms, making it a versatile tool for editorial layouts, titles, posters, visual identities, and beyond. The Light style is accompanied by a Rotalic version: a 9° rotated design that echoes orbital movement and offers a distinctive alternative to traditional italics.
With over 2,082 glyphs and support for 100+ languages, Solæ includes astrological symbols, moon phases, a wide range of uppercase and lowercase ligatures, and a full set of characters for inclusive writing.
This font was crafted for users who appreciate expressive, poetic forms built on a rigorous typographic structure. Solæ combines celestial inspiration with meticulous structural detail, offering a comprehensive and refined toolset suited to sophisticated and discerning design work.
