Vollkorn
Google Fonts · Friedrich Althausen · 2010
A dependable oldstyle serif built for sustained reading, with enough character to hold its own in editorial and book contexts.
About
Vollkorn was designed specifically to address the lack of a free, high-quality serif suited to body text on the web. Its strong stroke contrast and classical proportions make it equally at home in long-form journalism, academic publishing, and book design. The extensive weight range and Cyrillic and Greek support make it a genuinely versatile workhorse.
Classification
Vollkorn is a robust oldstyle serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sturdy serifs, designed explicitly for comfortable long-form reading on screen and in print. Its generous x-height and carefully balanced proportions give it a bookish authority without feeling stiff.
