Wannatype · Ekke Wolf
An old-style serif by Ekke Wolf that blends classical letterform construction with subtle handwriting-derived irregularities, covering Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and the full IPA across three weights.
About
Ermis Pro draws on the tradition of classical old face type while introducing slightly uneven contours that mimic the behaviour of ink on paper at small sizes, lending the typeface a personal, handcrafted quality. It functions across both display and body copy settings, supported by a rich OpenType feature set including small caps, discretionary ligatures and nine number variants. The character set is unusually broad, extending beyond standard Latin to include pan-African letters, Cyrillic and Greek scripts, and the complete International Phonetic Alphabet.
Classification
Described explicitly as drawing on classically cut old face type traditions, with slightly irregular contours imitating ink flow on paper. The handwriting-influenced irregularity and serif structure align it with a humanist old-style classification.
