Originally the result of a research project on the Carolinian minuscule, coined in the Frankish monasteries of the eighth century, as well as on the musical notation systems of the time, Carolinéale subsequently undertook a seven-year process to evolve into a versatile sanserif of contemporary elegance. However, its voice still conveys a subtle touch of history. Equipped with all the typographic goodies the discerning typographer could need, Carolinéale is both a comfortably legible text face and a powerful display type that will stimulate readers at larger sizes.
