A nine-weight transitional serif drawing on rational and Didone traditions, optimised for legibility at small sizes on high-resolution screens.
About
Werkdruck threads together rational and transitional type design references, adopting the vertical stress and symmetrical construction of a Didone while softening the stroke contrast and retaining bracketed serifs. Nine weights run from Thin to Heavy, each with true italics, and alternate glyph options include single-storey and double-storey variants for a and g. Its 911 glyphs per style cover extended Latin and include small capitals, oldstyle figures and a full suite of superscripts and subscripts.
Classification
The foundry describes it as threading together rational and transitional type design sources, with vertical stress and symmetrical construction akin to a Didone but with reduced stroke contrast and bracketed serifs, placing it firmly in transitional territory.
