CastleType Library: Modern Fonts
The CastleType library includes a growing number of typefaces that are classified as "Modern" (or "Didone" according to some classification systems), characterized by extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes, hairline serifs without bracketing, and vertical stress in rounded strokes. CastleType offers some charming (and narrower) alternatives. Click on any font poster for a larger view and for more information about that font.
