Drawing inspiration from the unusual blend of characteristics observed in the Australian platypus, _Platypi_ combines sharp, heavy wedge serifs usually seen in display faces with more conventional curves and proportions to achieve a practical text typeface with a unique and distinctive visual rhythm. The heavier weights push this tension further with increased stroke tapering and overall contrast. _Platypi_ features six weights with matching italic styles. It supports Indigenous Australian and Vietnamese languages, and includes the full Google Fonts Latin Plus Character Set.

Sidenote: the word _Platypi_ is commonly used as the plural of platypus. However, this term is a form of pseudo-Latin, with the correct version being _platypuses_.
