Fine serif with crossing diagonals that interlace the lowercase
Celion
Celion is a fine high-contrast serif in which a long diagonal travels through the lower half of the word and the ligature joins pairs so the stroke appears to interlace beside the tall ascenders, giving a fashion portrait its title.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Celion.
The C opens a broad crescent, the e carries a fine crossbar, the l rises as a tall stem and the diagonal runs from one bowl into the next so the letters share a single stroke. The interlacing is the character: it only works where the ligature is used, which is why the sample sets one word with the join working through it. Because the joins are delicate, the face wants 18 pt on coated stock and the ligature needs 40 pt before the shared stroke stays open. The portrait, the highlights and the small credit are presentation; the pale serif word is the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Celion’s stroke geometry.
Title for a beauty feature
The interlaced diagonal sets a cover line apart, and the fine contrast holds a single word at 60 pt over a lit portrait.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 60 pt on the calm band of the photograph, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath for the standfirst, and set the standfirst at 10 pt in a light serif.
Pre-production check
A shared diagonal printed over a highlight disappears; check the cover proof and move the title to a shadowed band.
Names line for a boutique wedding suite
The ligature gives a pair of names one shared stroke, and the fine serif keeps a long line readable at 26 pt on heavy card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm card: set the names at 26 pt, keep 16 mm at each end for the ascenders, and set the date and venue at 9 pt in a caps beneath with 14 mm of air.
Pre-production check
Two names set in a ligature cut at 20 pt lose the shared stroke; check the proof and keep the line at 24 pt or above.
Label for a fragrance flacon
The fine serif gives a small label its tone, and the interlaced stroke survives at 18 pt on a 36 mm panel stamped in hot foil.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 36 by 60 mm label: set the house name at 18 pt, keep 5 mm from each die edge so the shared stroke stays whole, and set the volume in a 6 pt caps at the foot.
Pre-production check
A foil label printed at 14 pt closes the fine crossbar; check the plate proof and keep the name at 16 pt or above.

Mozarella
Mozarella is a variable serif set in a true italic: high contrast, sharp wedge serifs, a compressed and slanted drawing that keeps its letterforms rather than obliquing them, and a weight axis from thin to bold named on the specimen.
