In order to design this Sans Serif typeface I got freely inspired by “Times New Roman” created by Victor Lardent in 1931. I would say that this typeface is characterised by thin and smooth lines, the letters present bilateral, bracketed, blunt-tapered serifs. It has quite a contrast. Some “Othello Serif” letters have peculiarities such as the lowercase “e” and the upper and lowercase “q”. It has an elegant appearance.
