Value Serif

Value is a contemporary family of two typefaces. Value Sans and Value Serif were drawn in response to conversations centered on notions of cultural and fiscal exchange: Value Sans borrows in style and behaviour from precedents like Elegant Grotesk (DE) and Granby (UK) ; Value Serif pays homage to forebears like Plantin Infant (FR + US) and Italian Old Style (US).

The Sans was drawn first by Colophon Foundry (UK); the Serif was drawn shortly after, by Benjamin Critton (US). Each borrows their geometries from the other, and nuances were finalized by all parties as Colophon Foundry. Value Serif was extended in 2023 to include corresponding True Italic styles.

Value Serif is available in 3 weights — Regular, Medium and Bold, all with corresponding Italics. Available to license in both Standard (‘STD’) and Professional (‘PRO’) versions, the latter containing a range of additional OpenType features.
