It is a modern design which pays due acknowledgement to the past. An extensive range of Opentype features, including old-style numerals, terminal forms, ligatures and stylistic alternatives are included.

The Corsham faces merge ‘olde-worlde’ charm with fun character, yet remaining clear and legible for text use.
