Description Clarendon comparison with Modern.png |
English:
Monotype Modern, a nineteenth-century text face, next to Haas Clarendon Bold, a display face. Both fonts show classic nineteenth-century design features, for instance on the ‘Q’, ‘R’, ‘r’, ‘a’ and ‘c’. However, the Clarendon is much wider with a higher
x-height
, and contrast between thick and thin strokes has been reduced. Yes, I know
Quercus robur
should be in italics (it couldn't be as Haas Clarendon doesn't have italics)–it wasn't a great choice of sample text.
