Begum Sans is a high-contrast design. Its letterforms feature horizontal strokes that flair outwards and look a bit like wedges; this is particularly prominent in the typeface’s capital letters.

Even though Begum Sans is a display face, its use isn’t limited to headlines.

As a result, with the TT Marxiana font family, a modern designer gets a full-fledged and functional set
