Fraunces
Fraunces is a soft, old-style display serif by Undercase Type, inspired by early 20th century faces such as Windsor, Souvenir, and the Cooper series. Its leaning letters and inky curves give headlines a warm, slightly wonky charm, and softness and wonk controls let you turn that up or down.
