Sina Nova by Hoftype

Sina Nova

Sina Nova Sample

Sina Nova is a strong, sturdy and self-confident serif face. Distinct ascenders and descenders in classical proportions ensure pleasant reading. Robust but assertively warm, it recalls and references the virtues of early classical printing types but presents a distinctly contemporary look. It is great for headlines and in larger styles but with its even text flow is works very well for long texts. An extended, finely tuned range of weights renders it suitable for almost every application.
