About
Six weights from ExtraLight to ExtraBold, each with a matching italic, give Chercán a broad range for both long-form reading and headline work. Its personality is relaxed without sacrificing legibility, making it suited to books, magazines and posters where a human voice is wanted. Latin Extended and Greek polytonic coverage, alongside a rich set of OpenType features including small caps, oldstyle figures, bird dingbats and polytonic alternates, make it a well-equipped choice for multilingual publishing.
Classification
The page lists it as a flare serif with hybrid characteristics, featuring reverse contrast and a singular informal personality that sits between text and display use — distinct from classical transitional or old-style serifs.
