A screen-optimised transitional serif designed as a metric-compatible open-source alternative to Cambria.
About
Caladea was created to give LibreOffice and open-source document users a high-quality drop-in replacement for Microsoft's Cambria, sharing the same character widths and spacing. Its moderate contrast, sturdy serifs, and careful hinting make it a reliable choice for long-form document typography and body text on screen. While it lacks the refinement of premium text faces, it is a solid, dependable workhorse for practical publishing needs.
