About
Available in Regular and Italic, Pyros is a Latin-script text serif with broad language coverage across well over a hundred languages. Its OpenType palette includes lining, old-style, tabular and tabular old-style figures, small capitals, superior and inferior letters, fractions, roman numerals, and stylistic sets for circled figures and alternative arrows. The specimen leans on Werner Herzog's documentary writing about volcanoes, lending the typeface a literary, essayistic tone.
Classification
The glyph set and specimen text suggest a text-oriented serif with classical proportions; the inclusion of small capitals, old-style figures and extensive OpenType features points to a transitional or humanist serif tradition.
