One of Voland’s most distinctive features is the elegant ‘fox-like’ tail of letter Q. While Baskerville’s original type featured generous proportions and open counters, Voland emphasises these features and increases the x-height. Of particular note is Voland’s reduced thick/thin contrast. Indeed, the thickness of the strokes and the colour of Voland Book on the page are similar to those of Simoncini Garamond, which set a standard in Italian publishing in the 1960s and is slightly lighter than the most popular book faces used in Europe today. Thanks to its low contrast, Voland gives the page a more even colour at text sizes, which improves reading comfort.

Voland and its matching italics are timeless text faces. It is available in five weights, ranging from Book to ExtraBold, and comes with additional features such as small caps in all weights.
