About
Buckram takes its name from the stiff, durable cloth used in bookbinding, and the analogy holds: the design prioritises clarity and legibility without sacrificing warmth. Eight weights from ExtraLight to Black are available individually or as a variable font, and the extensive Latin character set covers around 390 languages. Suited to editorial and promotional work where reliability matters as much as personality.
Classification
Buckram is explicitly described as a slab serif, with sturdy rectangular serifs and functional letterforms balanced by editorial warmth, placing it squarely in the slab serif category.
