A classic typeface for comfortable reading
Borges is a classic text face that combines the dignity and grace of the French Renaissance with a contemporary flavor, close to the Dutch style of the 20th century, that is to say, tall and slightly condensed lowercases with a contrast of strokes barely larger than a garalde. Borges is a humble tribute to the fantastic work of Jorge Luis Borges. His writing technique, that of a meticulous and tireless goldsmith, endlessly searching for the perfect word, suggested a clean and economical letterform. Thanks to its round and open forms, Borges builds a delicate sense of rhythm, providing a comfortable reading in long texts. It was conceived for editorial use, especially in books, although it is suitable for a wide variety of designs. Borges comes in six weights of roman, italic and small cap. The italic is particularly fluid. All styles include the extended Latin repertoire, many ligatures, full numeral series, extended money signs, and much more. The family also has display companions: two titling fonts and an elegant chancery cursive.
