TYPEFACES OF 2012
A complete text typeface family with an optical axis is easy to conceptualize but forbiddingly difficult to execute. I know. I’ve been working on such families since the mid-1990s, and I have yet to release any of them. All honor, therefore, to those who succeed in bringing this daunting, thankless task to fruition. This is a wholly original roman with an unusual pedigree. Santos accurately describes it as derived from late Renaissance type families such as Garamond, but with decidedly later influences from the Iberian peninsula.
