Chap is a distinctive contemporary serif typeface from Typetype that balances classical elegance with modern editorial sensibilities. The design features pronounced stroke contrast and refined bracket serifs that give it both authority and approachability. Its generous x-height and open counters ensure excellent readability across various sizes, while subtle design details like the gentle stress angle and carefully crafted terminals prevent it from feeling overly formal. The typeface maintains a sophisticated yet accessible personality that works equally well in luxury branding contexts and high-end editorial applications.
