serifold-style serifitalic
A text serif drawing directly on the sixteenth-century type specimens held at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium.
About
Five weights from Light to Bold, each with a matching italic, make this a workable family for newspapers, books and magazines. The Plantin-Moretus archive provides the historical grounding, giving the design an old-style warmth without excessive archaism. Sits comfortably in long-form editorial settings where legibility at text sizes matters more than display presence.
Classification
Drawn from sixteenth-century sources and the Plantin-Moretus Museum archive, Antwerp sits firmly in the old-style (Garalde) tradition, with the humanist stroke contrast and bracketed serifs characteristic of that period.
