About
A contemporary serif by Malte Bentzen that defies neat classification, sat between Old-Style and Transitional. Substantial serifs and robust stems give the typeface a strong, resolute presence, while slender lowercase proportions and more generous uppercase spacing keep the rhythm warm. Five weights with matching italics, plus Upright Variable and Italic Variable axes and a full Variable, suit editorial systems that need to move between print and screen without losing character.
Classification
Optimo describes Recital as straddling Old-Style and Transitional, with substantial serifs, robust stems, slender lowercase proportions and more generous spacing in uppercase, in five weights with italics and variable axes.
