The Polymode family embraces a new Realness design axis, which modulates personality. But at its highest setting, let’s be honest: Opulence can speak for itself. It’s as Real as it gets—equal parts science fiction and art deco, pushing the limits of convention and typographic wisdom. With high energy and verve, it distills the visual language of Polymode into a typeface with a prideful personality. Opulence is what confidence looks like on a Saturday night, dressed to the nines, a blessing for all who get to see it.
Round and straight forms are head-to-head at this end of the Realness axis: perfectly circular o’s dance side by side with acute and stubborn m’s. Capital widths and proportions are all over the place, in the best way ever. F and E are making room for an audacious S, and vertically we also shift balance up and down, such as with R.
Opulence is asking the designer to trust it: this is a typeface that will take its rightful place in the foreground of whatever you make with it. It’s extra, it’s loud, and it’s proud.
