About
Fourteen styles span seven weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, making it a practical choice for both text and light display work. Open counters and a generous width give it a human warmth that keeps it from feeling purely functional. Extended Latin language support and comprehensive OpenType features make it a capable workhorse across a wide range of typesetting tasks.
