Long years ago, before the evil days had dawned,
King Volsung ruled over all the land which lies between the sea and the country of the Goths
THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN
and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.
Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.
In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information
Like the mythological arrow-slinging centaur, said to never miss the target he’s aiming at, Sagittaire is a hybrid creature: halfway humanist and nuanced, halfway raw and undomesticated, it traces a bewildering figure characterised by a high-waisted body with a seemingly unnatural distribution of widths an volumes. At its extremities, feather-like terminals bloom from orthogonal stems, flowing gracefully into sharp arrowheads that pierce the reader’s eye in the lightest cuts, only to gradually soften up across the 3 styles (Display, Standard, Text) for a total of 48 weights. The matching italics, built according to the same aesthetic principles, feature a brusque sliced ductus that adds diagonal stress to an already spirited texture. Through the combination of these two styles, Sagittaire’s bedazzling appearance is fully manifested: an outlandish carrier of mystical symbolism ready to take its place in the firmament of typography. Whatever the objective of your design is, you can rest assured, Sagittaire will always hit the spot.
