A five-weight text serif by Manushi Parikh built around large wedge-formed serifs, wide-open counters and higher stroke contrast for legibility at small sizes and in difficult print conditions.
About
Torrent's wedge serifs and open counterforms give it resilience in demanding print environments – cheap paper, fast presses and small sizes – without sacrificing detail. The high stroke contrast follows conventions of traditional text serifs, while deliberate openings at joints such as the 'K,' 'k' and 'R' improve clarity in running copy. Five weights with true italics make it serviceable across book, magazine, editorial and packaging contexts.
Classification
A high-contrast serif with large wedge-formed serifs rather than bracketed or slab forms, placing it in the contemporary wedge or lapidary serif tradition designed for extended text use.
