ABOUT Diabolique

Diabolique is a 12-font display typeface that aims to capture the spirit of the dark side of life—fonts that are perfect for amplifying the tone of clandestine, macabre, and horrifying subjects.

Ed Benguiat’s Tiffany (1973) along with my own Eschaton (2024) are the main influences for Diabolique. This type family combines incisive serifs, ball terminals and elegant curves that swerve abruptly into razor-sharp corners. This heightens a sense of unease, and, with stylistic sets activated, there are even more ways to deliver a chilling message. These qualities give Diabolique a unique aesthetic that will undoubtedly give your titles, headlines, and logotypes a distinctive appeal.

Special OpenType features include over 60 alternates that will make each word resonate beautifully when used in titling and branding situations. Small Caps are also included (along with their matching diacritics and alternates) – these are designed to harmonise with regular lowercase forms making unicase-style typography a cinch. All-cap Discretionary Ligatures are also available to add that extra touch of finesse to your typographic creations.

There are 6 weights across 2 widths, ranging from a delicate Regular to an imposing Black. Diabolique has an extensive character set that covers all Latin European languages.
