Vitruv Text
Studio Rene Bieder · Rene Bieder
A classical text serif in six weights with matching italics, built around Roman naming conventions and a thorough set of OpenType features for editorial and publishing work.
About
Twelve styles run from Thin to Black with corresponding italics, each named after a figure or concept from Roman antiquity. OpenType features include small capitals, oldstyle and tabular figures, fractions, case-sensitive forms and several character alternates, making it well equipped for long-form setting. Part of a three-subfamily system alongside Vitruv Headline and Vitruv Poster, allowing consistent use across hierarchies.
Classification
The Roman naming conventions, classical proportions and range from Thin to Black with matching italics suggest a text-optimised transitional or classical serif intended for editorial and body copy use.
