Librum is a 4-font text family specifically constructed for its use in book design. Its wider letter spacing works best in body copy sizes from 8-point to 15-point.

Librum Sans is a 4-font family specifically constructed for its use in book design. Its vertical metrics are identical to Librum, Bream, and Librum E. So, it works well for run-in heads, nested styles, and so forth. The character sets and OpenType features are identical to Librum and Bream.
The fonts were developed as a 15-font book design group while writing my book, "Practical Font Design With FontLab 5". They have been working very well in my publishing house for the past year and a half.
