About Ancizar Serif

Ancizar Serif is a serif typeface family whose credits begin with the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL). The specimen shows restrained contrast, wedge-shaped serifs, an angled stress that hints at a broad pen, and a Q whose tail sweeps under the letter. Numerals are lining figures. The family is a variable font with a weight axis from 300 to 900: seven named weights, Light to Black, each paired with an italic, make 14 styles. Its 1,070 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Greek. The official credits name UNAL together with César Puertas, Viviana Monsalve and Julián Moncada, and the font's name table lists nine people in all. The license notice also refers to an Ancizar Sans project kept in the same repository. The fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Ancizar Serif works

Reports and institutional documents

Seven weights and their italics give headings, body text, captions and notes distinct levels in one family.

Books and long articles

Low contrast and firm wedge serifs hold up in paragraphs; Regular and Medium with italics cover the running text.

Texts with Greek

The Greek character set lets Greek words, formulas and quotations share the design of the Latin text.

Bold to Black keep the calligraphic stress while giving chapter titles and covers more colour.
