This concept brings to mind the classic charmer Peignot, but Granville’s character isn’t derived from eccentric letterforms, but subtle details instead, making it a much more adaptable design. The family range was planned for versatility as well. Unlike most typefaces in this genre, Granville is sufficiently sturdy for text setting, despite its elegant contrast. A Granville Display variant, with the relatively delicate hairlines and narrow stature of a titling face, is available. 

In its italic Granville radiates a muted calligraphic tone yielded from the flexibility of the pointed pen. Strokes gently turn and swell. Small tails curl upward. This italic has a distinct personality of its own, but never departs too far from its roman counterpart. The 6-font family has all the debonair refinement of an old modulated sans, without its antiquated baggage.
