Seravek
A highly functional sans serif
About
Seravek, designed by Eric Olson, is a sans serif typeface published by the Process Type Foundry. It was made to meet to the demanding needs of information, editorial, and identity design, where the twin forces of richness and clarity must co-exist. Seravek strives for a clear functionality and near invisibility: its letters are unobtrusive, refined, and imbued with a sense of modernity.
