Caustic

Caustic is a three-style display family from Alias that blends serif structure with a handwritten, calligraphic edge. Its narrow proportions, sharp wedge serifs, high-contrast strokes, and spiky terminals give it a dramatic, expressive presence that feels both formal and slightly gothic-inspired.

With Light, Medium, and Bold styles included, it offers a useful range for designers who want movement and intensity without losing elegance. Caustic is well suited to posters, branding, packaging, editorial headlines, and other decorative display work where an angular, vintage-leaning voice can do the heavy lifting.
