Alejandro Freitez's very first commercial typeface is motivated by modern serifs and paper typography. Calicanto is a compact typeface with strong serifs, in proportion curves and a vertical axis. It has open counters and a generous x-height with somewhat condensed characters and low contrast strokes. The design of its letters are easy (with a precise reasoning), and it is ideal for integrating various variables and typographic bodies, for digital and printed media.
Each of the 12 variables has 750 glyphs (supporting more than 90 languages), with small caps, ligatures, lining figures by default, OldStyle and tabular, mathematical and currency symbols for each set of characters, intelligent portions, lower and upper characters, glyphs sensitive to capital letters and circular numerals, amongst other OpenType functions that make it perfect for making up demanding texts for books, magazines, newspapers, yearly reports, and much more.
