About Classique Font Family


Classique is a distinguished Scotch-style serif that was inspired by a single-page type sample from c.1785 entitled “Eliz. Caslon’s New Pica”. This high-contrast serif face captivated me and I have wanted to reproduce its beauty for some time. So, here it is! Classique Regular and Italic are reasonably accurate interpretations of that sample and I have taken the liberty of expanding upon them to create a family of 30 fonts.

Classique has been drawn with a loose style to retain the warmth and personality of its 18th century origins. Serifs are soft, horizontals and verticals are pinched and often irregular, joints and inktraps arch with imprecision... each glyph has a charm of its own. Undoubtedly, Classique is one of the most distinctive Scotch Romans you will find.

There are three optical sizes and five weights in both roman and italic styles. Text weights are perfect for body copy and small text sizes, while Display weights should be used at very large sizes–perfect for titles, headlines and branding purposes. This gives Classique great versatility and I am sure you will love how it performs in your next typographic project.

Activate stylistic sets and you will get access to over one hundred sumptuous alternates that will add flourishes of finesse to your titles and headlines. Classique has a character set that covers all Latin European languages.

About Paulo Goode

As a child I was fascinated by the multitude of letterforms that surround us, I would spend hours drawing words (and cars) in my sketchbooks. I don’t know what happened to those sketches, but I certainly never made it as an automobile designer! Maybe there’s a chance my fonts will prove more successful? As I grew up, I developed my artistic skills and became a technical illustrator and moved into graphic design with the advent of the Macintosh computer. At the age of 45 I rekindled my interest in typeface design and am thoroughly enjoying the process of font creation and producing some interesting typefaces of distinction. I'm still fascinated by the multitude of letterforms that surround us — and am very happy to be contributing my own.The Premium foundry page can be viewed Here.
