An unconventional classicistic Roman typeface

This Roman typeface has a livelier effect than is typical of the epoch of classicistic style.

In the lower case letters, an echo of the smoother forms of historically early scripts is identifiable. Typical of a classicistic Roman typeface are the emphasized and clear contrast in the weight of the strokes, the fine serifs and the accentuation of the vertical bold stem. »Charpentier Classicistique« is pleasantly legible. Its effect is much less harsh than other classicistic fonts. The pointed forms of M and N are uncommon.
 
At 30°, the italic version of »Charpentier Classicistique Italique« is unusually strongly slanted. The italic lower case letters refer, in part, to English handwriting, which also falls under classicism. Especially the curves show forms influenced by writing.
 
»Charpentier Classicistique« is available in four font weights: 
regular, semibold, bold and black.
 
Thanks to OpenType and Unicode, »Charpentier Classicistique« includes lots of ligatures, also discretional ones, as well as figures for normal setting and tabular figures with constant width and cap-height figures.
