slabnarrow wedge serif with old-style traitsitalic
A narrow wedge-serif text face with old-style leanings, named after a small Norwegian town Simonson's ancestors came from.
About
Kandal follows the weight scheme typical of slab-serif faces, where the contrast between thick and thin strokes stays roughly constant as the weight increases, while its proportions, especially in the capitals, run narrower than most serif text faces. The italic uses a modern cursive construction rather than a sloped roman.
Classification
A wedge-serif design following a slab-serif weight scheme where stroke contrast stays fairly constant, so it's classed slab rather than plain old-style serif.
