Humanist Fonts

Explore our collection of humanist fonts, families whose proportions descend from the pen, with calligraphic stress and open forms.

Humanist type keeps its debt to handwriting visible. Stress runs at an angle rather than vertically, apertures stay open, and letterform widths vary the way a pen naturally varies them. That warmth reads as approachable and, more practically, tends to make the faces exceptionally legible.
