Why do we need a new Clarendon?

German designer Björn Altmann studied all existing versions of Clarendon and their sources and found that these Clarendons, originally designed for text sizes, do not satisfy today’s typographic needs, such as banner ads, city light posters, blow-ups and etc.

Hence, we do need a ClarendoNeo!

A full story about ClarendoNeo and the historical development of the Clarendon type can be found in the pdf brochure from Björn Altmann.

ClarendoNeo comes with a full character set of appr. 900 glyphs covering Latin West and East, Cyrillic, small caps, old style figures as well as a large selection of ligatures, fractions, swashes, and ornaments.
