The typeface Ereganto Serif, launched by KOBU Foundry in 2021, has been featured in Slanted Publishers Yearbook of Type 22/23, dedicated to movies, with a special highlight in the book’s cover.
Ereganto Serif is a seven-weight typeface (Thin, Extralight, Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold), designed by Brígida Guerreiro, that wishes to express a tribute to the gracious and delicate forms of the human body. Being a typeface whose conception is highly drawn to the idea of beauty and grace of the human body, the lines of Ereganto transmit a wide sense of delicacy and elegance that can also be felt even in its heavier weights.
All seven weights contain character sets that include uppercase, lowercase, numerals, diacritics, punctuation, ligatures, alternates and symbols (including arrows). It supports more than 60 languages derived from Latin, namely Western, Central and South Eastern European languages, making it a perfect fit to be used either in titles or other typographic compositions.

Human Grade Type launched Ereganto Serif
The feature of Ereganto Serif on Yearbook of Type 22/23 is a statement to the reception this typeface has received after its launch with the Human Grade Type campaign. Human Grade Type explores the link between Ereganto and the human body, in a photographic collaboration that joined both KOBU’s sub-brands (Foundry™ and Photon™) together in a project that highlights the seductive shapes and forms of this typeface, portrayed on the surface where it feels most meaningful – the human skin. Applying projection and stencil techniques, we covered our bodies in royal blue dye and gold painted Ereganto’s types, embracing their organic figures. A spontaneous choreography of seamless yet intentional gestures provided the alluring dynamics seen through the different elements of the campaign. The Human Grade Type campaign ran in 2021 to celebrate KOBU Foundry‘s third anniversary and to launch Ereganto Serif.
We invite you to check the Behind the Scenes of Human Grade Type, the campaign created to launch this typeface, executed by Brígida Guerreiro and Gonçalo Cevadinha:
