We've all seen Bodoni, Didot and endless variations used to death in fashion and women's magazines. This font is a soft, curvy and subtly sophisticated attempt at breathing some life into the old and tired fashionable, yet readable, typographic standbys.
I find the lower case roman and italic light "r" to be particularly wonderful; reminiscent of petals on a flower. The font even has a pretty lengthy writeup on the forms that were used as inspiration in addition to a statement of purpose. Two thumbs up for content.
It's always nice to see something traditional and classy. Hats off to re-type and Ramiro Espinoza.

I ran across this experiment. I was excited to see someone try something like this and thought I would share. Remember to try it out on their site, too. Enjoy!
