El-Hidrant: Serif Font With Swashes

El-Hidrant draws its italic curves with theatrical flair. Its sweeping terminals, angled stress, and ornamental swashes nod to 18th-century type traditions. The structure pays homage to Caslon and Bookman while carving out something sharper and more expressive.

Its character works best in visual identities: e.g., boutique packaging, wine labels, gallery invitations, beauty editorials, signage, vintage-inspired branding, poetry book covers, and restaurant menus. Alternates and discretionary ligatures add a fluid, custom-built feel to headlines and logotypes, and the bonus swash set introduces extra liberty across layouts.

Inside:

• uppercase and lowercase characters;
• numerals;
• punctuation & symbols;
• multilingual support;
• ligatures, discretionary ligatures & stylistic alternates;
• OTF, TTF & webfont formats;
• bonus swashes in OTF, TTF & EPS formats.
