Treatise was born in a notebook at the back of a boring lecture on immunology with the simple thought of “How can I make a serif more fun?”. When writing a scientific treatise there are not many options for making it enjoyable, however some little quirks and fun features in the font can take the serious edge off the writing...

Treatise is a light and open serif with some design quirks giving it a slightly calligraphic feel; a single storey “a” and “g”, a visible stroke mark on the “o” and a curved arm on the “k”. These features are subtle enough to fit into a paragraph of text, but bold enough to give a title some character.

The Treatise family includes a true italic and a heavy-struck style bold and several OpenType features; standard and discretional ligatures, contextual alternatives and different figure styles. The character coverage includes Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A and will support most Latin alphabet languages, including languages with more exotic characters such as Icelandic and Maltese.
