Ensaio Text
A text-weight serif optimised for body copy, sitting within a larger optical-size system that spans Caption, Text and Cover variants alongside Arabic and Capitals companions.
About
Ensaio Text offers four weights – Book, Medium, Bold and Heavy – each with a matching italic, giving eight styles calibrated for comfortable reading at text sizes. It forms part of a broader type system that includes Ensaio Caption, Ensaio Cover, Ensaio Capitals and Arabic-script counterparts, suggesting a publication or editorial context. The Latin character set covers extended European languages including Finnish and Portuguese, visible in the specimen strings.
Classification
A text-optimised serif family with upright and italic variants across four weights, designed for sustained reading at body sizes. The optical sizing designation 'Text' distinguishes it from the companion Caption and Cover families within the broader Ensaio system.
