About
Milestone traces its origins to Miller Old Style No. 4, Ratchanon Boongsrithong's rational adaptation of Phemister's punch-cut design from the late 19th century. The design prioritises the balance of texture found in the historical source while accentuating the characteristic rectangular serifs and redistributing their weight for modern typographic settings. The typeface remains in active development with no release date confirmed.
Classification
