A serif drawn from accumulated impressions of the European tradition rather than any single historical source, with sharp apexes offset by long, warm serif bases.
About
Six weights from Light to Bold, each with an italic, compose a family built on straight legs and sharp apexes that give the text a quiet precision. Long, generous serif bases temper the sharpness and keep the texture warm at reading sizes. OpenType features include contextual alternates, ligatures, tabular and oldstyle figures, fractions, and playful additions such as circled figures and an upside-down S.
Classification
Saga draws on the European serif tradition with straight legs, sharp apexes and long generously proportioned serif bases, placing it in the humanist serif camp rather than a strict transitional or old-style classification.
