Very clean, very elegant.

I think this one works well for copytext. The capital G has this hook which irritates me a bit. But hey, this is a beautiful font!

Thanks thalamic and MustardMan.

I'm not 100% about the G either. I might see if I can do something to it.

Comment by aphoria 9th march 2009

I removed the "hook" from the G and added a slab to the top part of it.

Good Work on this one and the sans version. easy reading and very usable in small sizes

Thanks jmarquez. I spent a fair amount of time on these two. I was aiming for something that worked a small sizes but wasn't purely pixel-based.
