About
Designed for ParaType in 2006, Kartell pairs slim serifs with reduced stroke contrast to maintain readability across extended text settings in magazines, books and newspapers. Its OpenType version includes alternate characters, additional ligatures and swashes, broadening its range into display and identity work. Three weights with corresponding italics give it modest but practical versatility.
