Between Serifs and Sans
Formosa was designed as a set of interconnected typefaces between typical serifs and sans serifs. The large x-height and slightly narrow forms contribute to its graceful appearance.
Human Touch
There are no perfectly straight lines in Formosa; instead, the slightly curved lines and flares in the terminal indicate the hand-written merits of typography that bring the human touch to the font.
