Why Bitter. Slab serif with bracketed, sturdy weight. Clarendon itself is a licensed typeface, so everything on this page is set in Bitter, which is free to use on the web and in print.
Bitter, on its own. A contemporary slab serif drawn for screens. Sturdy without the weight most slabs carry.
If Clarendon is installed on your computer, an A/B key appears in the specimen above so you can compare the two.
