The uppercase draws on Renaissance roman capitals and the lowercase on humanist handwriting, giving the face a warmth that sits apart from more mechanical serifs. Five styles cover Regular, Regular Italic, Small Caps, SemiBold and Bold, all with broad Latin Extended glyph coverage including ligatures, fractions and super- and subscripts.
