In November of 2019, Retype introduced Dejanire Headline, a roman type family loosely inspired by an anonymous display typeface found in a type specimen by Claude Lamesle, published in Paris in 1742. In the months that followed, Ramiro Espinoza expanded the system with Dejanire Sans. In March of 2022, Dejanire Text and Dejanire Jewel were released.

Dejanire Text shares the same basic design principles than Dejanire Headline but with proportions, contrast and spacing adapted to reading sizes. It can be considered a transitional roman loosely based on historical 18th century types but with a contemporary appearance.

Dejanire Text is moderately condensed for optimal text economy and has a crisp presence both in print and on screen. Although designed with magazines and newspapers in mind, the family’s clean design and readability also make it an excellent candidate for websites, brochures, and annual reports.

The accompanying font Dejanire Jewel it’s a baroque, profusely ornate set of capitals inspired by a set of titling capitals found in a religious decree printed in 1800 by Pedro Battle in the city of Barcelona, Spain.
