“Some more of Lanterne 📖
Lanterne is a new serif typeface from Family Type—crafted to carry text with clarity, subtle character, and a refined editorial presence. Designed to adapt seamlessly across editorial layouts, print publications, and digital platforms, it offers versatility without compromise.
The roman balances classical sensibility with modern utility. Its construction draws from transitional serif models—those that bridged the oldstyle and modern periods—while steering clear of direct revivalism. Carefully tuned proportions and crisp terminals give the design a calm, composed authority.
The italic introduces a shift from the more classical upright forms, adding a note of playfulness. With hints of reverse contrast logic and distinctively curved terminals, it brings an expressive counterpoint—refined, assertive, and subtly unconventional. Together, they form a typographic pairing that is both grounded and spirited.
Lanterne includes six weights from Light to Heavy, each with a matching italic. Its character set supports over 60 Latin-based languages and includes more than 620 glyphs, along with OpenType features such as discretionary ligatures and small caps for advanced typesetting.
Whether set in a novel, magazine, or bold editorial spread, Lanterne speaks with a voice that is serious without being cold, expressive without excess.
