Latina specimen from Latinotype

An 11-weight humanist serif from Latinotype drawing on Edward Johnston's Foundational style, with calligraphic roots deliberately softened for sustained reading in books and magazines.

About

Latina balances calligraphic heritage with text-setting neutrality: the lowercase inherits Johnston's generous rounded counterforms, while the uppercase recalls classical Roman structure and stroke modulation. An italic based on the Canciller style accompanies all weights, and a complete set of small caps is included in both upright and italic versions. The family covers 219 languages and offers multiple figure sets, making it a capable choice for multilingual publishing and branding work.

Classification

Humanist serif rooted in Edward Johnston's Foundational hand, combining rounded lowercase counterforms with classical Roman uppercase structure and stroke modulation. Calligraphic origins are present but restrained for text legibility.
