A classically built serif for body copy that pairs a conventional old-style cut with an 'Ink' variant using extreme incisions and reverse tapers inspired by Frutiger's printing daggers.
About
Parent draws on old-style serif conventions – half ball terminals, refined stroke contrast – alongside an unusual historical source: taped 'dagger' strokes photographed in Adrian Frutiger's 'Typefaces. The Complete Works'. The Ink variant reinterprets that functional technique as a design characteristic, producing curling, incised forms suited to both small-size rendering and large-scale headline use. The family spans five weights across two subfamilies, totalling ten styles.
