Equateur
Equateur is a revival of a serif by the French engraver and type designer Ange Degheest, brought back from her archives at the Rennes School of Fine Arts, with soft bracketed serifs and a slightly uneven, old-metal warmth. It has one weight and no italic, so set it for headings, invitations, and short editorial passages rather than long body text.
