Velma is a unique humanist typeface characterized by its flexible, contrasted strokes, reminiscent of being carved or molded from a solid base. Its design strikes a balance between sobriety and friendliness, ensuring excellent legibility for text while offering an engaging presence in any contemporary setting. As the typeface's weight increases, its expressive qualities are enhanced by more pronounced, irregular counterforms, making it an ideal choice for display purposes. Velma's irregular rhythm creates a balanced, modulated texture, adding an informal yet clear element to communication.

The typeface comes in six upright styles and six italics, complemented by two variable fonts. It provides a comprehensive set of typographic features, including old-style, lining, and tabular figures, as well as superscripts, subscripts, basic ligatures, and small caps. With its 650 glyphs, Velma supports over 200 Latin-based languages, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of design projects.
