Engebrechtre Expanded Bold Italic

About this font

The original Engebrechtre Regular was pretty good but the bold and expanded styles were clearly beyond my technical abilities a dozen years ago. I scrapped all but the regular weight and started all over again. This time with new spacing, new kerning and web-friendly horizontal precision. The original S was a bit clunky so I’ve drawn the new one with a bit more grace. Accents have been redesigned and more languages supported. The italics have round dots, not slanted dots . . . a detail I’d missed in the previous version. There are more math symbols, fractions and numeric ordinals too. There’s a new @ symbol as well as the new Indian rupee symbol. Vertical metrics have been optimized for better web performance.

This is a extended typeface whose vertical metrics have been optimized for better web performance.
