About
Designed for immersive reading, its slightly wide glyph proportions give it a visual solidity that holds up under poor printing conditions and on screen alike. The italic cuts offer distinctive touches including a closed-bowl 'g', an alternate ampersand form and 14 f-ligatures, with additional stylistic sets covering a straight-sided 'M' and a long-tailed 'Q'. Available in five weights with italics and variable font support, it covers 135 languages across the Latin script.
Classification
Classified as a serif by the foundry and designed for immersive reading; its wide proportions, large counterforms and strong capitals place it firmly in the text serif category with some display capability.
