Schorel specimen from Insignedesign

A contemporary Scotch Roman in nine weights with true italics, sharp bracket serifs and calligraphic italics suited to both headline and body text at medium to large sizes.

About

Schorel draws on the Scottish foundry tradition, with moderate stroke contrast, short ascenders and descenders, and bracket serifs that come to a sharp point. A true italic with calligraphic character accompanies nine weights, while OpenType features include small caps, old-style figures and fractions. The design targets medium to large sizes for print and screen, making it equally at home in editorial text and subheadlines.

Classification

A Scotch Roman serif with moderate stroke contrast, bracket serifs tapering to sharp points, ball terminals, and calligraphic italics — characteristic of the Scottish foundry tradition popularised in the 19th century.
