About
Gentium Plus originated from SIL International's mission to support minority language communities worldwide, resulting in one of the most extensively character-complete serif typefaces available under an open licence. Its Renaissance influences produce letterforms of genuine beauty that reward sustained reading in books, academic papers, and liturgical texts. The combination of typographic quality and breadth of script support makes it essentially unmatched among free serif typefaces for complex multilingual publishing.
Classification
