Where Modern is too fragile and Century too boring, Hercules comes with its elegant forms and, at the same time, with sufficient firmness to be usable for longer texts. In its heavy, bold designs it approaches Falstaff, while in the light ones it has some features which are taken over from Didot or from Modern. The text designs have been corrected for small sizes. The range of its use is, therefore, quite extensive – from dictionaries and technical literature through magazines to art posters and advertising materials.
Recommended combination: Splendid Quartett (very suitable), Excelsor Script, Plagwitz, but also Zeppelin and Compur.
