Simula Font Family was designed by Justin Hunt Sloane and published by Monotype. Simula contains 2 styles and family package options. A distant echo of the Plantin model and a study in the proportions of traditional Roman Capitals filtered through an outside perspective, Sloane’s approach to the design is both rational and contradictory. This tension is most evident in the lowercase, which achieves a precarious harmony between the softness of its low-contrast stroke ductus and the constructed angularity of its serifs and terminal forms.
