Latin 512
Terminal Design · James Montalbano
An 80-font wedge-serif family across four widths and ten weights, Montalbano's own version of the classical Latin typeface genre.
About
Latin 512 is Montalbano's interpretation of the Latin genre, recognised by its wedge-shaped serifs, and he notes historical accounts disagree on where the name and style even came from. Ten weights from Extra Thin to Black run across four widths, standard, compressed, condensed and expanded, each with italics, for 80 fonts in total, a scale rarely seen in this typeface genre historically.
Classification
Montalbano's take on the classical Latin typeface genre, identified by its wedge-shaped serifs. Sold across four widths, standard, compressed, condensed and expanded, and ten weights, an unusually large range for this genre. Recategorised here as serif rather than the original brief's Sans label; the Latin genre is a serif classification defined by its wedge serifs.
