Agnes is a serif typeface inspired by director Agnes Varda, after whom it is named. It is based on the structure of Joanna MT Std, designed by Eric Gill in 1930-31, which I then modified with Adobe Illustrator and afterwards converted in an OTF file with the Fontself plugin. It is characterized by rounded shapes and low contrast and it has an elegant but yet playful look, given by its calligraphic unbracketed serifs, which are asymmetrical.
