About

Distinctive letterforms in the 'g' and 'k', alongside a generous set of swashes accessible via OpenType, add character without sacrificing versatility. The 502-character set covers over 200 Latin-based languages, making it suitable for editorial, branding, packaging, web and broadcast contexts.
Classification
