Allrounder Baroque
Identity Letters · Moritz Kleinsorge
A transitional serif drawing on Baroque-era punchcutting traditions, designed by Moritz Kleinsorge as part of the broader Allrounder superfamily.
About
Built on the heritage of 17th and 18th-century punchcutters such as Christoffel van Dijck and Joan Michaël Fleischman, the design brings medium contrast, cupped serifs and ball terminals into a contemporary digital context without tipping into excess. Ten styles across five weights with italics cover long-form text, branding and UI work, backed by an OpenType feature set including small caps, multiple figure styles, case-sensitive forms and support for over 200 Latin-based languages. Its membership of the Allrounder superfamily means it can be paired with Allrounder Grotesk or Allrounder Grotesk Mono without metric adjustment.
Classification
Described explicitly as a transitional or 'rococo' serif, drawing on Baroque-era punchcutters such as van Dijck and Fleischman, with medium contrast, cupped serifs and ball terminals characteristic of transitional letterforms.
