Preto Serif
DizajnDesign · 2013
A text serif from DizajnDesign optimised for small point sizes, with long sharp serifs that give body text a distinctive, energetic texture rather than quiet invisibility.
About
Part of the broader Preto family alongside Sans and Semi subfamilies, the Serif is built for continuous reading in print contexts: magazines, books and corporate materials. Four roman weights and four italics are accompanied by a rich OpenType feature set including small caps, multiple numeral sets, localised forms and adjustable ligatures that maintain consistent spacing across tracking changes. Alternative characters for J, Q, g and ampersand allow typographers to shift the tone from conventional to more expressive.
