Background

Skolar is a text serif which has been originally designed with scholarly and multilingual publications in mind. The typeface maintains its credibility while incorporating a subtle personal style, neither neutral nor conspicuous.

Prominent serifs and low-contrast modulation add to its robustness, and, together with a relatively large x-height, improves the typeface’s readability in small sizes. This 6-weight family and large character set is flexible enough for complex text settings and editorial work. It also becomes distinctive in bigger sizes, fitting the demands of corporate design.

Skolar has already received international recognition at the Ed-Awards competition 2008 and was selected as one of the best typefaces of 2008 by i love typography.
