Dutch fonts, also known as Dutch Old Face, are a serif typeface category inspired by the humanist types of the Renaissance. They are characterized by their high contrast, sharp serifs, and relatively condensed proportions, lending a sense of formality and readability. These fonts are often used in formal texts or for branding that seeks a classic, sophisticated aesthetic.
