A major new release at Hackberry Font Foundry

Announcing this all over

You may have seen this already, but it is a major piece of work and probably my most mature and sophisticated set of font designs yet. I finally broke down and spaced them for body copy—so they will work well at text sizes [from 9-point to 12-point] without the need to fiddle with the spacing. The design is a contemporary take on oldstyle serif typefaces using Jenson as the mask. The roots of this design go back to Minister which Monotype says has Garalde influence.

It is very conservative for me. I even went to a small bowl on the lowercase a. What’s the world coming to?
