Rajesh Rajput's Dominique: 18-Style Condensed Variable Typeface

publication · 2026-05-18

Designer Rajesh Rajput has released Dominique, a condensed display variable typeface offering 18 distinct styles from a single font file. The typeface features 9 weights with matching italics, ranging from text-weight condensed to a poster black readable at 10 meters. The variable axis enables seamless transitions between weights. The specimen showcases the typeface in bold applications: a black-background spread with white condensed black-weight type at roughly 300pt, a three-panel social grid with single words on yellow, orange-red, and black backgrounds, and a full a–z and 0–9 set at around 200pt. Mockups demonstrate its versatility, including a fashion poster with "MILAN FASHION" in red on cream and "MIRA" in black on yellow, and a teal field with cropped "NEW YORK" letterforms. The project is available on Behance.
