Emilio specimen from Narrow Type

A 14-style old-style serif with calligraphic details and an eighties advertising flavour, suited to editorial and branding work.

About

Taking cues from the advertising serifs of the 1980s, particularly Times and Garamond, Emilio introduces modern touches such as reductive calligraphic stroke endings and distinctive K and R leg forms. Seven weights from Thin to Black each carry a matching italic, and a variable font is included in the bundle. A large x-height and modest contrast keep it readable at small sizes, while the display weights are the clearest expression of its character.

Classification

Emilio draws from old-style serif models such as Times and Garamond, with calligraphic details and a high x-height that place it in the humanist old-style tradition, updated with reductive modern elements.
