Bastia was designed by Jen Wagner and published by Jen Wagner Co.. Bastia contains 2 styles and family package options. The font is currently #50 in Hot New Fonts.
Bastia is a classy, bold upper and lowercase typeface that looks incredible in both large and small settings. Best used as a display for headings and logos, Bastia‘s clean lines and smooth curves give any project an extra touch of class.
See how it looks when used for body text in the 11th sample image above. I also love combining Bastia and clean sans serifs for minimal logos (see the ‘Lucky Finch’ sample logo).
This download also includes a special outline version of the serif, so you can layer text or add some flair to your logos and display type.
There are also alternates available for ‘k’ and ‘s’ that give each letter some extra curves (available via the special characters panel
One thing to note about Bastia is the letter spacing. It was intentionally spaced for clean reading if you wanted to use it for body type, so I recommend setting the spacing a little tighter for display use (around -10 to -20 should do!).
