A reversed-stress slab-serif
This typeface started its life as a distinctly humanist typeface, and only recently acquired its French clarendon twist. It was just a matter of thickening the serifs, thinning the stems, and rationalizing the curves. When set in a textbock, the reversed stress gives the typeface an unusual rhythm, and the exaggerated curves verge on being playful, even at small sizes. The italic has a cursive structure, transforming the squarish slabs into exaggerated in- and out-strokes. This is a work in progress.
