Miro specimen from Overtype

Inès Davodeau's 2025 Jenson-derived serif takes Renaissance humanist proportions and introduces expressive breaks and distinctive terminals across eight weights with matching italics.

About

Rather than reproducing a historical model, Miro uses Nicolas Jenson's letterforms as a departure point, adding subtle irregularities and considered rhythm that give it a livelier quality than a straight revival. The eight-weight range from Thin to Black covers both extended text and headline work, with broad Latin language support via OpenType. Its balance of classical structure and controlled expressiveness makes it a reasonable choice for editorial, branding and packaging projects.

Classification

Draws from the Jenson tradition of Renaissance humanist typography, with controlled stroke contrast, distinctive terminals and subtle breaks in forms that push it toward a more expressive contemporary interpretation rather than a strict historical revival.
