Woodland
Pangram Pangram Foundry · Mat Desjardins · 2019
A six-weight organic serif by Mat Desjardins with soft curves and a distinctive lowercase 'e', suited to editorial and brand work.
About
Designed by Mat Desjardins, Woodland runs from Ultralight to Heavy across six weights, each carrying over 2,500 glyphs including old-style figures, standard ligatures and stylistic alternates with curvier forms. The quirky lowercase 'e' gives the family a gentle personality without disrupting readability at body sizes, and the alternates allow for a more expressive register when needed. Coverage extends to a broad range of Latin-based languages, making it practical for European multilingual projects.
Classification
Classified by the foundry under Organic and Serif; the soft curves, quirky alternates and warm personality place it firmly in the organic serif subcategory rather than a classical or transitional tradition.
