Mutable is as flamboyant and changeable as its name suggests. These characterful fonts were
designed specifically for display purposes. It’s an exuberant type family that’s jam-packed
with alternates and bestowed with a loud personality.
This typeface is defined by its barbed serifs and elegantly curved terminals, or “foxtails” as
they are sometimes known. An extremely large x-height amplifies the friendliness and
buoyancy of the lowercase glyphs. These qualities give Mutable a unique aesthetic that will
undoubtedly give your logotypes, headlines, and titles a distinctive appeal. Mutable has a
strong Art Nouveau influence and was mainly inspired by Ed Benguiat’s Tiffany and the
mysterious Pretorian typeface accredited to P.M. Shanks and Sons of London.
