Typographic niceties include small caps, 53 ligatures, 15 stylistic alternates and a range of ornamental glyphs, giving it considerable depth for editorial and prestige work. The family was selected as one of Fontspring's Best of 2017 and is distributed via MyFonts and the Monotype Library.

Classification

Classified by the designer as an Antiqua, Carrig Pro draws from early Roman inscriptions and Pre-Modern type traditions, placing it in the broad humanist-to-old-style serif continuum with a distinctive hybrid character.
