Oddval Text specimen from Type Forward

A text-optimised serif with ink traps drawn by Stan Partalev and Mirela Belova, offered in nine weights with matching italics and a variable font across Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

About

Tuned explicitly for reading rather than display use, Oddval Text carries the ink trap detailing of its parent Oddval family into a range spanning Hairline to Black. Both regular and italic cuts are available, alongside a variable font, and the family ships with an extensive OpenType feature set including stylistic sets for Cyrillic oval forms, contextual alternates, fractions and case-sensitive punctuation. Two styles are available free of charge.

Classification

A text-optimised serif featuring ink traps, suggesting a design rooted in high-contrast contemporary serif traditions adapted for smaller sizes and sustained reading. The ink traps and OpenType feature set indicate a formally considered text face rather than a display variant.
