Libre Clarendon (Work in Progress)


Libre Clarendon is an integrated and comprehensive Clarendon family.


It provides a full range of weights and widths, allowing it to be used for both Text and Display settings, in all kind of layouts.

It comes in 20 styles: 4 widths (Condensed, Narrow, Normal and Wide) in 5 weigths each (Ligth, Regular, Medium, Bold and Black).


Libre Clarendon is loosely based on the original Besley's Clarendon as issued by the Fann Street Foundry in 1874. We kept the almost monoline feeling in it, but expanded into a complete multi-axis family. As a result, it's quite different from the more contrasted Hass/Stempel Clarendon version, already digitized by many foundries.
