Quietism specimen from Michael Rafailyk

A conceptually driven Antiqua in 36 styles across four optical sizes, with soaring ascenders and quiet horizontal serifs drawn from the Quietism philosophical tradition.

About

Designed by Michael Rafailyk and released in November 2022, the family spans Text, Deck, Display and Poster subfamilies, each with differing x-height and contrast to suit their intended size range. Oldstyle diagonal stress, oldstyle figures by default and manual PostScript hinting for static fonts give it a considered bookish character. Variable fonts offer Weight, Contrast and X-Height axes, with Latin, Greek and Cyrillic coverage across more than 480 languages.

Classification

An Antiqua (classical serif) with oldstyle diagonal stress and oldstyle figures by default, featuring four optical size subfamilies and high-reaching ascenders contrasted against quiet horizontal serifs, placing it firmly in the humanist/transitional serif tradition.
