Ordem Font Family

Ordem is the result of a study on the Roman Quadrata, it’s structural proportions and geometric relationships. Reflecting part of the European cultural aesthetic, Ordem is simultaneously very granitic and delicate. The lack of variation in stroke width is part of what makes Ordem look so interesting – a serif font dressed in the more utilitarian clothing of the sans-serif fonts.

With a big x-height and a very clean lowercase, the four weights and matching italics of Ordem make it a distinguishable contemporary approach to a classic. Originaly developed for the Epigraphy Department of the University of Coimbra, it’s now available on our website with an expanded character set and new features that make it available to broader audience.
