About
A display garalde by Kris Sowersby that pulls details from the renaissance work of Hendrik van den Keere, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon and Simon de Colines rather than copying any single source. Six styles run Regular, Medium and Bold with italics that carry an extensive swash programme (e, h, k, nm, y, z and caps). Sits at the display end of the Heldane system alongside Heldane Text, and reads well on editorial covers, luxury identities and book jackets.
Classification
Klim classifies it as Classical: Garalde/Oldstyle; a renaissance-inspired serif that amalgamates details from Hendrik van den Keere, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon and Simon de Colines into a cohesive whole, with a deep set of italic swashes.
