Nova Type Foundry · Joana Correia, Abel Martins · 2021

About
Designed by Abel Martins and Joana Correia and released in 2021, Loretta offers six weights from Light to ExtraBold each with a matching italic, totalling 12 styles. Low contrast and open shapes make it well-suited to body text in print and on screen, while the italic retains enough calligraphic energy to hold its own in editorial settings. OpenType features include oldstyle figures, tabular and lining figures, contextual alternates and standard ligatures.
Classification
