Placid Pro is an old-style type facein the French manner. Placid Pro is exceptionally legible and makes a classic, elegant impression. Placid Pro is indeed a remarkably accommodating typeface. The firm modeling of the strokes and the serifs in the letters make the mass appearance stronger than usual; the absence of thin elements ensures a good result on coated papers; and the compact structure of the letters, without loss of size, makes it one of the economical faces in use. In short, it is essentially an all-purpose face, excellent for periodical or jobbing work, and very effective in many sorts of book and magazine publishing. Placid Pro’d Bold weight was especially optimized to provide ample contrast: bulkiness was avoided by introducing a slight sharpening to the serifs’ forms.
