seriflow-contrast Latinskaya serifcondensed
Bibliografica specimen from Bolditalic

A large variable serif by Dmitry Goloub that reimagines Literaturnaya, Lateinisch and Renata with lower contrast and a new rhythm.

About

Bibliografica goes back to the Lateinisch family of typefaces that became Literaturnaya, the standard Soviet book face, and rebuilds them rather than copying them. Contrast is lowered, the rhythm reworked, and the family spans three widths and nine weights on two variable axes. The character set is large, with Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.

Classification

A reworking of the Lateinisch model and its Soviet descendant Literaturnaya, with Renata as a third reference. Contrast is reduced and the rhythm rebuilt, and the family varies on weight and width axes.
