About

Offered in Regular, Italic and Bold, the family carries oldstyle and lining figures, fractions and case-sensitive forms through OpenType. Sits in editorial, book and identity work where a quiet, slightly literary serif is wanted, with the swash italic available when display moments need more flourish.
