About

The Design of Poison

Jaikishan Patel

Sans Serif

Open Source

Poison font is an elegant fashion contemporary typeface by Jaikishan Patel designed for sophisticated brand applications. This basic clean typeface brings refined character to fashion labels, beauty brands, and high-end retail. Poison's elegant proportions create distinctive brand typography. Particularly effective for lookbooks and boutique signage. Works at display sizes. Pairs with neutral text fonts.

Poison comes from the work of Jaikishan Patel. The typeface reflects a focus on typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Sans Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Lineal classification, Poison features no serif extensions on stroke terminals and stroke contrast ranging from monolinear to subtly modulated. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for corporate identity systems requiring neutrality.

Poison is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 5 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
