About the family


Madawaska carries the poise of a classic slab serif, but with details that keep it from feeling like a museum piece. Its lowercase mixes sturdy serifs with a few unexpected cuts and quirks, lending warmth and individuality to an otherwise solid, dependable structure. The proportions strike a comfortable balance, neither compressed nor sprawling, making it just as effective in a full page of editorial text as it is in a bold, high-impact headline.

Two textured styles—Jeans and River—add tactile variation, evoking the look of ink pressed into paper or letters weathered by time. These aren’t gimmick effects; they bring authenticity to vintage packaging, heritage branding, book covers, and other projects where a handcrafted impression matters. Italics keep their integrity, avoiding excess flourish so they remain clear in running text, captions, and display lines alike.

While there’s a trace of old-world construction in its letterforms, that’s an advantage here: Madawaska offers a kind of timelessness that stands apart from clean-but-clinical modern slabs. It’s a typeface that feels rooted, versatile, and ready for projects where clarity, personality, and a touch of tradition all need to work together.
