Borges is a classic text face that combines the dignity and grace of the French Renaissance with a contemporary flavor, close to the Dutch style of the 20th century, that is to say, tall and slightly condensed lowercases with a contrast of strokes barely larger than a garalde. Borges is a humble tribute to the fantastic work of Jorge Luis Borges. His writing technique, that of a meticulous and tireless goldsmith, endlessly searching for the perfect word, suggested a clean and economical letterform. Thanks to its round and open forms, Borges builds a delicate sense of rhythm, providing a comfortable reading in long texts. It was conceived for editorial use, especially in books, although it is suitable for a wide variety of designs. Borges comes in six weights of roman, italic and small cap.
