About
Designed by a working book and magazine designer, LDN Westminster Text draws on the humanist serif tradition, with an upright stance, minimal distracting detail and a weight that tends towards the dark end of the spectrum. The family includes Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic, with attention to punctuation scale, numeral sets, fractions, superiors and inferiors for typographic completeness. A low data-point construction makes it viable for screen use alongside print.
