About
Ravenscar is organised into four optical sub-families: Fine, Display, Large Text and Text, each tuned to different reading conditions and scales. Weights range from ExtraLight to Black depending on grade, and italics are present across the family. The structure reflects a rigorous approach to type for editorial and book publishing where optical size differentiation matters.
Classification
Ravenscar is a multi-optical-size serif family spanning Fine, Display, Large Text and Text grades, suggesting a contemporary approach to the classical optical size tradition seen in type families designed for high-quality editorial and book work.
