Paperback

serifsize-specific text serifitalic

A serif family drawn separately at six point sizes, reviving the old practice of size-specific type design.

About

Paperback rejects the idea of one master scaled up and down, instead giving each of six size ranges from 6pt to 96pt its own Roman, Italic and Bold, tuned to how type actually behaves at that size.

Classification

A serif revival of the old practice of drawing a distinct design for each size range rather than scaling a single master, with dedicated cuts at five point sizes.
