Type designers Erik Spiekermann (D), Christian Schwartz (US, and Kris Sowersby (NZ) created this serif FontFont in 2007. Extensions were made by Ralph du Carrois (D) and Botio Nikoltchev (BG).

The family has 12 weights, ranging from Light to Black (including italics) and is ideally suited for advertising and packaging, book text, editorial and publishing, logo, branding and creative industries, small text as well as web and screen design.

FF Meta Serif provides advanced typographical support with features such as ligatures, small capitals, alternate characters, case-sensitive forms, fractions, and super- and subscript characters.

It comes with a complete range of figure set options – oldstyle and lining figures, each in tabular and proportional widths.

As well as Latin-based languages, the typeface family also supports the Greek and Cyrillic writing systems.

This FontFont is a member of the FF Meta super family, which also includes FF Meta, FF Meta Correspondence, and FF Meta Headline.
