Summa Italic | Web Fonts

Delve Fonts worked very closely with educator and design industry veteran Don Sterrenburg for years to diligently transform his magnificent pen and ink drawings into modern font software, sending type specimens and early versions of working fonts for review and then faithfully completing the revisions he requested after carefully examining the materials.

The classic roman spirit and bracketed, cupped serifs together with the narrow width and elevated x-height of Summa give it a lofty, elegant appearance and an economic use of space. This ‘true italic’ (not simply slanted or oblique) has more calligraphic influence in the letterforms and pairs nicely with the regular.

The Summa Italic Webfonts package contains 1 style in 5 webfont formats (5 fonts total).

Summa’s height and compact measure make it an ideal choice for use in headlines, book titles, on posters, for drop-caps, and other instances where large display sizes are needed in tight spaces but heavy weights are not desired.
