Download Seizieme Pro font

Seizieme Pro font by Coen Hofmann is a digital revival of the 1905’s classic jewel Série 16 issued by the Parisian typefounders Peignot & Cie. The original pure roman typeface gained great popularity. Coen Hofmann developments on Seizieme follow strictly the original Peignot Série 16 appearance.
Seizieme Pro font family consists of three styles – Regular, Regular Italic, and Bold. The regular font has the original small caps, while all members of the family are enhanced, next to the ranging ones, with old style figures. Also superior and inferior figures are available. A Bold style was not available in the original series. This was, however, carefully drawn for this digital rendition. The Série 16 and its versions for the composing machines were much used for the type setting of scientific publications. That is why a comprehensive set of mathematical and sundry characters are added to the Seizième fonts. In addition to the accented characters for the several West and East European languages the Seizième was also improved with a Cyrillic set, also available in regular, italic and bold versions.
Coen Hofmann was born in 1939 in Amsterdam and boasts a long and successful career as a professional type designer. In addition to his designs in the books and publications field, his typography artworks decorate many showcases in Amsterdam. Through his experience in the design of scientific and mathematical publications, Coen Hofmann is involved as a technical adviser for the STIX font project. For the FontForum Coen Hofmann designed some of the most successful types – and there are still more to follow.
