About
Darwin Pro refines its predecessor with redrawn letterforms, broader language coverage and an expanded figure set including oldstyle figures, numerators and denominators. The family spans seven weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, totalling 14 styles. Alternative characters are accessible via OpenType features, giving the family additional typographic flexibility for text-setting.
Classification
Darwin Pro exhibits the characteristics of a humanist sans-serif, with varied stroke weights and letterform proportions that suggest calligraphic roots. Its extended language support and oldstyle figures reinforce a text-oriented, humanist design approach.
