Description of Gif

Erfenis Plantin

Erfenis Plantin is an Old-Style serif type revival of Frank Hinman Pierpont’s 1913 Plantin for Monotype. Its name, meaning “heritage” in Dutch, reflects its embrace of the original’s sturdy letterforms and moderate contrast while enhancing open counters and sharpening serifs. Designed for optimal legibility, Erfenis is well-suited for printed publications, ensuring clarity and readability in smaller, extended text.
