Marguerite Grotesk
Charlotte Rohde · Charlotte Rohde
A grotesque sans in four weights with matching italics, conceived around the character of Marguerite Gautier from Dumas's 'La Dame aux Camélias'.
About
Charlotte Rohde's Marguerite Grotesk draws its name and mood from the protagonist of Alexandre Dumas Jr's nineteenth-century novel, a courtisane navigating bourgeois society. The family runs across Light, Regular, Medium and Bold with corresponding italics, and supports extended Latin coverage for broad European language use. Several OpenType feature sets offer alternate forms for characters including J, the umlaut vowels and currency symbols.
Classification
Named 'Grotesk' by the designer; the upright and italic weights follow conventions of the grotesque sans tradition with a clean, restrained structure.
