Released in October, Kant is a humanist serif that Georg Salden, now 96, drew as a companion to Polo, his 1974 sans often cited as a forerunner of FF Meta. Ludwig Übele produced the digital fonts for Ludwig Type's Georg Salden Library: five weights with italics, true small caps, several sets of figures, and Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, the latter two with more handwritten italics. A free trial is available.
sharing Polo's skeleton makes Kant an easy partner for it, and its compact, firmly serifed forms look built for small sizes and hard working conditions rather than for show.
