Eschaton
Paulo Goode · Paulo Goode · 2024
A 36-style transitional serif family released in 2024, structured across three optical sizes – Text, Standard and Xtra – spanning six weights with matching italics.
About
The three optical sizes address distinct typographic contexts: Text reduces contrast for comfortable reading at smaller sizes, Standard offers the default refined display character, and Xtra pushes contrast to an extreme for headline use. Old-style figures are set as default, with proportional figures available as an alternate. Latin European language support covers 450 glyphs per style.
Classification
Described explicitly as a transitional serif, with high stroke contrast in its standard and Xtra optical sizes. The family structure across three optical sizes and its clean, upright forms align with the transitional tradition.
