gfs-orpheus-classic-fonts

This rare typeface was first used in the last decade of the 19th century and was offered for use until the 1960s. Its design is characterized by an outstanding subtlety and purity in its letter-forms. With almost round counters, a low x-height, a fairly high contrast and a nearly horizontal axis, it is a very elegant and legible typeface that works excellently on small text. GFS Orpheus Classic is a digital reproduction of this brilliant design. It was digitized by George Triantafyllakos based on specimens from Linotype Co.
