About
Tempera Biblio is a book-focused serif family offering three optical grades (A, B, C) each with italic and wide companions, allowing fine control over colour and density across different paper stocks and print conditions. The system extends into a broader Tempera family with Light through Bold weights and matching italics, giving designers a unified toolkit from body text to display. Its naming after world cities and references to 16th-century Polish book design point to a rigorous historical grounding.
