Does anyone happen to know what font this site is using? It looks really elegant.


It is a modified version of ET_Book called ET_Bembo:

I love u. thanks!


apparently its the font used in Edward Tufte's books. Its on github: https://edwardtufte.github.io/et-book/


The "Quantitative Display of Information", which I just checked, is using Monotype Bembo. So still Bembo, but a different version.


Font is atrocious.

Uppercase letters have different stroke width than lowercase ones — it’s like they are *B*old *L*ike this.

Not only that: tracking, kerning is basically non-existent.

Please don’t use that open-source font

You need real paid Bembo, not that piece of shit.
