About Crimson Text

Sebastian Kosch's Crimson Text is an old-style serif rooted in the humanist typefaces of the Renaissance — particularly those of Aldus Manutius and Arrighi — adapted for digital screen reading with generous spacing and refined proportions. The three-weight family pairs naturally with long-form reading contexts: academic papers, literary blogs, and digital books where warmth and tradition matter more than clinical neutrality. Vietnamese support gives it quiet multilingual versatility within its scholarly niche.
