About

Designed and published through the U+270D type programme at EESAB, Compagnon draws on humanist and calligraphic traditions to produce a serif suited to editorial and body text use. The family runs across three weights, each with matching italics, giving it reasonable range for continuous reading. Its hand-drawn quality sets it apart from more mechanical serifs, lending a personal character to the forms.
