Arthemys Display Light specimen from Type Department

A display serif by Paris-based Morgane Vantorre, drawn from 18th-century specimen work and engraved cartographic lettering.

About

Rooted in Nicolas Gando's specimen and the engraved letterforms of historical cartography, this display serif carries a period character balanced by a contemporary sensibility. Its 705-glyph set covers Latin Extended with ligatures, diacritics and fractions, making it broadly usable across European languages. The single Light weight suits large-scale typesetting where delicacy and a degree of formality are both required.
