A five-weight Bookman revival with over 680 swash characters, keeping the classic sloped roman italic that some other revivals drop.
About
Bookmania combines the sturdy build of the original 1901 Bookman Oldstyle with the swashier Bookmans that followed in the 1960s. With more swash characters than any earlier Bookman, it covers a wide range from display to reasonably comfortable text use, and its italic stays true to the old sloped-roman style rather than a redrawn cursive.
Classification
A Bookman revival with old-style serif structure, classed as serif rather than slab since it keeps traditional bracketed serifs and a classic sloped italic.
