Rector is a typeface with volume! It’s a slight serif with an extralight weight that feels demure, like it’s made to type secrets, while its black weight is a bellowing queen. It comes with a hairline sans and outline styles for headline alternates, and in between all of these are five weights and italics that fill out its natural versatility.
Its personality comes through its forms—which feel human-made and also precise. There are broad nib qualities that lean into their pixel canvas to be more regimented and fiercely pointy, keeping Rector both modern and vocal.
Rector is an inscriptional serif by Hrvoje Živčić, where you will see quite a few hints at stonecarving and monumental letters. Its core styles are both austere and graceful, just what we want for an elegant block of text. In this 16-styles family, the display styles are more eccentric, with a “quasi-sans” Hairline and a “duoline” Outline.
