Marist Font Family is a warm, reader-friendly font with prominent serifs and wide uppercase proportions that take their time. Its forms are inspired by afternoons spent in archives investigating the long history of the overlooked Old Style, and more specifically, two prominent fonts within that genre: Jensonโs roman and Golden. When French engraver Nicolas Jenson first developed his roman in 15th Century Venice, the highly legible typeface become famous for out performing everything else. In 19th Century London, William Morris then reinterpreted Jensonโs roman for his Golden Type, a celebration of craft aesthetics from the past that questioned societyโs reliance on technology. Marist picks up some of Morris and Jensonโs threadsโfine tuning their forms for contemporary eyes and digital libraries.
