Mesmerised by a sparking greenish-yellow mineral called Olivine hidden within black basalt in the lava fields of Lanzarote, we decided to name the gem of our library after this beauty.
Introducing Peridot – a multifaceted sans serif type system by Foundry5. We burnt the midnight oil and sweated over minute details to present a high quality 10 weight family with slanted italics in 6 widths and the coveted variable format! Peridot is loaded with personality; try the different stylistic variants to change the typographic tone depending on your mood. The combination of widths and styles makes Peridot an exciting typographic palette for the discerning designer.
