Kernevel
Formagari · Lucas Le Bihan · 2022
A reinterpretation of Goudy's University of California Old Style by Lucas Le Bihan, shaped by Breton summers and sailing culture into a classic text serif with a relaxed horizon.
About
Drawing on Frederic William Goudy's University of California Old Style, Kernevel balances traditional old-style proportions with a lightness the designer attributes to memories of coastal Brittany. Eight styles run across four weights from Book to Black, each with matching italics, and the family includes small caps, lining and tabular figures, and a generous extended Latin character set of 945 glyphs. Its classical structure makes it well suited to editorial, cultural and literary contexts.
Classification
Kernevel is described as an interpretation of Frederic William Goudy's University of California Old Style, placing it firmly in the old-style serif tradition with classic proportions and humanist roots.
