About Solway Fonts

Solway is a playful slab-serif with a charming and understated tone of voice, inspired by the warmth of community and the idyll of rural-living.

It is a contemporary family defined by the soft corners, ball terminals, rounded slabs that give it a welcoming and friendly appeal. Its monoline structure and minimal stroke contrast aspire to cohesion and stability.

Available in five weights, it is suitable for a variety of projects. It could find perfect expression within lifestyle brands or nature, travel and foodie blogs.
