The Renaissance is one of the most important periods for typedesign. For the serif typefaces followed the so called transitional period and goes on to the neoclassicism. So you get the impression the forms, kind of, morphed from oldstyle to neoclassic. And in a way it really did. In Germany the type of the transitional period is called Barock-Antiqua. This term is not very good because Barock-Antiquas we know are fare from the overwhelming ornaments of Baroque architecture. But in cultural history the changes never happen like a morph from one form to another.
The transitional history is very rich with the vast variety of design directions from all over europe and of course from Holland. As usual type classifications never give a final answer to what is really transitional. With Yuri I wanted to design a roman typeface that feels Baroque and it should not feel like one step in a transition. Yuri is a legible workhorse for the usage in magazines as well as books.
Yuri has 9 weights with italics up to Extrabold and Ultrabold.
In the standard set the main figures are tabular but with a proportional old style figure set as a feature.
Traditional and stylistic ligatures are also part of the feature set.
