Font specimen – Pamplemousse serif

Pamplemousse is the serif font I designed. It hasthe same skeleton as the font Minion Pro, is a serif typeface released in 1990, designed by Robert Slimbach. It is inspired by late Renaissance era type
and intended for body text and extended reading. I designed the digital versionof my font with Adobe Illustrator. With the Adobe Illustrator plugin FontSelf, I did the kerning and generated the Open Typefont file (OTF). To present my fonts appropriately, I  created a Typeface Specimen for both of them.

My serif typeface, Pamplemousse, is an elegant font that presents a moderate contrast between thin and thick lines. Oblique shading is prevalent and also sharp beak terminal and oblique serifs can often be found in my typeface design.
