Crabath Font Family is a modern serif family available in 64 styles. Intended especially for book typesetting, the Crabath Collection is a loose interpretation of roman and italic designs from Krabat’s specimen book.
Crabath sensitively reproduces the variation in letterform design for individual sizes with a collection of five optical sizes ranging from Display to Text to Caption. Its distinctive decoration, typical for late Baroque typefaces, is deliberately muted here, so that its overall appearance suits the eye of the contemporary reader. At the same time, the stems of the italics are trimmed more evenly without losing the functional characteristics.
The sets are extensive enough in all weights to meet the needs of everyday digital typesetting. Each set includes small capitals, basic and decorative ligatures, and several figure variations. A pleasant x-height, adequate contrast, and sufficiently pronounced accents for all European languages means that this typeface is especially well-suited for long, complex and difficult-to-set texts, both in printed output and on screen. The delicate nature of the headline styles will likely awaken a desire for typographic compositions on book and magazine covers or on posters.
