Plantin alternatives?

[Frode Bo Helland]

This topic was imported from the Typophile platform

Hi. I'm looking into Plantin for a project, but none of the versions I found include small caps or old style figures. Galaxie Copernicus is a good alternative, but I'd still like to know if there's anything similar out there I might've overlooked. Suggestions?

Cheers.

Musee looks like it might be up your alley, and possibly Alia as well.

This site has several good substitutes

I don't think you'll find anything better than Galaxie.

Fonts.com (Monotype) has all sorts of small caps and old style figure sets for Plantin:

Not in OT format, unfortunately.

(I used to use it, including all the expert sets, on a magazine back in my art director days.)

(Galaxy Copernicus looks nice, too.)

Oh, silly me, I didn't even check. Of course there are small caps and OSF — in Plantin Pro. See the Character Set.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm not sure which I'll go for, but Musee definitely catched my eye.

[Stephen Coles]

So you do realize that Plantin with SC and OSF is available?

[Frode Bo Helland]

Yes, I do.
