Reading Swiss periodicals is always rewarding: Basel’s Historisches Museum has elected a font created by typographer Katharina Wolff as winning contestant in a typography competition. The winner is a beautiful Renaissance-style Antiqua font “whose capitals recall the Capitalis Monumentalis of Ancient Rome, while the lower case letters are modelled on early Italian printed matter” (full text and interview – worth reading). The font is available for free: see links at the end of the linked text or use this link.
