Pliego
Manufacturas Tipográficas Madrileñas · Juanjo López · 2018
A humanist serif by Juanjo López drawing on Venetian old-style proportions, with angular details and calligraphic quirks that give it a distinctive character at both text and display sizes.
About
Pliego's proportions are rooted in the Venetian old-style tradition, making the Book, Regular and Medium weights well-suited to continuous reading under 14pt. Angular shapes and unexpected calligraphic details become more prominent at larger sizes, giving headlines a confident, ornamental quality. The family spans five weights with matching italics and 1,211 glyphs, including small caps, swashes, old-style and lining figures, and support for Vietnamese and a wide range of Latin-based languages.
Classification
