Am I Your Type - Typeface Catalog

Historic Period Post-Modernist Classification Neo Slab Contrast Low Contrast Application Editorial Text, Corporate Identity Technic Offset Form Mechanical Caecilia was the the premiere work of the Dutch designer Peter Matthias Noordzij. He made the first sketches for this slab serif design in 1983, and the full font family was released by Linotype in 1990.

This font has subtle variations of stroke thickness, a tall x-height, open counters, and vivacious true italics.

Noordzij combined classical ductus with his own contemporary expression to create a friendly and versatile slab serif family. With numerous weights from light to heavy, and styles including small caps, Old style figures, and Central European characters, Caecilia has all the elements necessary for rich typographic expression.
