Serica is a uniwidth dot matrix type family built around three shape styles; Circle, Square and Squircle, spanning 23 styles in total, plus a Variable Font. The Circle family includes two additional weights. By avoiding any overlapping strokes, it reinterprets the historic reference to Dutch merklap embroidery through a contemporary lens.
The reduction to a 7 unit tall cap height necessitates steep angles in diagonals and provides a rhythmic texture, which can be tamed by the SS01 for circular shapes or SS02 for compact shapes. Unlike similar typefaces, it provides an abundance of features such as localisation, swashes, ligatures, alternative letters, compact shapes, number styles, emojis and more.
