A Scotch Roman-rooted serif collection spanning six families and 84 styles, with proportional and monospaced cuts across compressed, condensed and standard widths, all available as variable fonts.
About
Built on the Scotch Roman tradition traced back to William Miller's Edinburgh foundry and Richard Austin's punchcutting, the collection frames that nineteenth-century heritage through a deliberately plain, almost anti-expressive contemporary lens. Six families cover proportional and monospaced variants at three widths, each running seven weights with matching italics and three variable axes for weight, slant and width. The deadpan naming convention — Average, Basic, Common, Default, Normal — reads as a pointed comment on the neutrality that type designers often claim for their serifs.
Classification
The page explicitly roots Serrif in the Scotch Roman tradition, a class of early nineteenth-century serif typefaces modelled on William Miller's Edinburgh foundry designs, characterised by high contrast and a rational, upright structure.
