About
An Old Style serif by Seb McLauchlan, drawn from afternoons in archives investigating Nicolas Jenson's highly legible 15th Century Venetian roman and William Morris's 19th Century Golden Type, his craft-focused reinterpretation of Jenson. Marist fine-tunes those threads for contemporary eyes and digital libraries, with prominent serifs and wide uppercase proportions that take their time. Six weights from Book to Black ship with matching italics and small caps, sitting comfortably in long-form editorial, books and brand systems that want warmth and historical depth.
Classification
