FS Ostro is a cosmopolitan typeface.
Named after a southerly wind that blows over the Mediterranean Sea, FS Ostro breathes warmth into letterforms with their roots in colder, stark Modern typefaces. FS Ostro draws inspiration from a wide range of sources such as the 19th century British Scotch Roman designs, Italian modern style typefaces and highly contrasted display Spanish examples. Its text version offers a consistent rhythm and robust texture that is easy on the eye. This elegant, cosmopolitan typeface is characterised by its thoughtfully modulated contrasts between thick and thin strokes, sharp angles, and sophisticated curves.
The letterforms are confident and fluid, creating an overall sense of refinement and modernity. One for the discerning, well-travelled reader.
