Reckham specimen from Signal

A self-described mutant Scotch Roman that runs four contrast series from near-Didone to near-monoline Egyptian, each across six weights with matching italics and variable font support.

About

Starting from Century Expanded as a reference and drifting toward Clarendon at heavier weights, Reckham ended up somewhere stranger: unbracketed serifs, eccentric details and four discrete contrast series totalling 48 styles. The №1 Series sits close to Didone at its lightest and Fat Face at its heaviest; the №4 Series reads typewriterish in lighter cuts and Egyptian in darker ones. Variable roman and italic fonts are included in the complete family, allowing contrast and weight to be dialled continuously between those poles.

Classification

Described as a mutant Scotch Roman with origins in Century Expanded, the family spans from near-Didone contrast in the №1 Series to near-monoline Egyptian in the №4 Series, with unbracketed serifs and eccentric detailing throughout.
