 Paestum is a Latin typeface inspired by Greek inscriptions of the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Its name comes, suitably, from the Latin name for Poseidonia, a former Greek city south of Naples whose two remaining Doric temples have been on antiquities tours since at least the 1700s. Others have scanned this terrain before, of course—including Carol Twombly (Lithos) and Adrian Frutiger—but no earlier designs supplied a lower case. Although Paestum includes complete upper- and lowercase alphabets, diacritics, numerals, and essential punctuation, it does not have many unhistorical glyphs—such as currency symbols and the @ sign. Paestum comes with three weights: light, medium, and heavy. US$59.
