Typeface Design for Continuous Text Setting
Eight numeral styles per weight
Tempera is a humanist sans and serif family designed by Nikola Djurek and released by Typotheque in 2006. Built around economic proportions, efficient spacing, and low contrast, it suits continuous text in books and long-form contexts. The sans also works at headline sizes when negative tracking is applied. Igino Marini contributed to the Latin; Roberto Arista handled engineering.
