Meager
Meager began its life under the guidance of Hannes Famira during a Type@Cooper course. It takes inspiration from an 1889 Schrifenatlas (type portfolio) published by Verlag von Julius Hoffmann in Stuttgart, Germany. This Schrifenatlas contained collected types by Ludwig Petzendorfer, including two types cut by Bauer & Comp. named ‘Magere Elzevir-Antiqua’ and ‘Magere Elzevir Kursive.’ Meager takes a synthetic approach to the revival of these types. It’s light and crisp, with soft terminals that pay homage to the letterpress type’s soft impression.
