The story of Renwick

Inspired by the British humanist sans serifs of the 1920s (such as Johnston Sans, Gill Sans, and Granby) Renwick is a typeface optimized for body copy at 9pt size. Its open apertures, calligraphic influenced lowercase, and generous letterspacing ensure that it’s always comfortable to read. Language support spans over 200 different languages, from Vietnamese to Greenlandic. Renwick’s book style also features a complete set of OpenType small caps—perfect for typesetting novels.
