De Roos is a modern-flavored serif in a slightly narrowed body shape, which incorporates modest elegance and excellent legibility. The pen written stroke is the most outstanding feature of the typeface, and the design decisions were mainly made for balancing overall rhythm of the whole family and the moody details of each letter.
The working specimen is 14 points, shown at the bottom of the picture above.
