Bookseller, a reinterpretation of a typeface for books in different optical sizes. Bookseller Bk (Book) is the first one of the family to be released. Caption, Subhead & Title sizes are now in development.
Bookseller Bk includes small caps, old style figures, lining figures, fractions, Greek & Cyrillic, everything in 3 different optical widths. You can save some lines with Reduced weight or add a few more with Ample weight. All of them with italics, bold width and bold italics.
This typeface is the reinterpretation of a sample found in a French book, published between 1882 and 1893 and its author —Ernest Michel— lived between 1837 and 1896. This sample has influence from Didot, Scotch Roman and Clarendon (typefaces which were in use at that time). This reinterpretation expands the basic set for the contemporary era.
Finally this typeface was the result of the course Digital Reinterpretation of Classic Typography by Oscar Guerrero Cañizares at Domestika.
