A Fournier-style text serif by Josh Darden with four weights, matching small caps and a Pi face across 17 styles.
About
Drawing on the transitional tradition of Pierre-Simon Fournier, this text face balances late-baroque warmth against rationalist clarity. Four weights from Light to Bold each carry upright and italic cuts, with full small-caps companions throughout, making it well suited to long-form editorial and book work. A supplementary Pi face rounds out the family for reference and annotation use.
Classification
Darden Studio classifies it as a Fournier-style serif, placing it in the late 18th-century transitional tradition where baroque ornament gives way to rationalist structure.
