Author's note

Poly, designed by José Nicolás Silva Schwarzenberg, is a free high-contrast serif font with imposing capitals and sharply changing stroke widths. Broad letterforms, fine hairlines, and crisp triangular serifs give the type a formal, commanding silhouette.

Its fashion-editorial character suits magazine mastheads and luxury packaging, where the pronounced contrast feels refined and dramatic. Posters and cultural event programs can use the pointed serif details to echo architectural lines, tailored clothing, or other precise graphic motifs.
