Buds by Peter Schellhase of FontShop International GmbH is a free high-contrast serif display font with a sculpted, theatrical look. Broad curves meet hairline joins and pointed cut-ins, giving the dense lettering a carved quality.
Fashion publishers can use its dramatic silhouette for magazine covers and feature openers. The sharp-soft interplay also suits perfume packaging and boutique branding with an elegant but unusual edge. Music posters gain a similarly dark, expressive voice from its swelling forms.
