Avantrum was created in the style of a traditional Roman serif font. My goal when creating this set of characters was to improve and refine how I control curves and anchor points. Especially when creating complex serif shapes, because it requires careful planning and measurements in order to made every character look uniform.

A Roman style serif font has varying widths for each character that simulates how Roman letter-shapes used to be hand written with a calligraphic pen.
