Whitman combines the qualities and character of classic American book types with a contemporary, digital aesthetic. The design was largely inspired by the work of W.A. Dwiggins, a book designer who also created a number of successful text typefaces in the first half of the 20th century.

The Whitman text family now comprises seven styles. There are three weights — Roman, Semibold, and Bold, each with corresponding Italics, plus Small Caps to accompany the regular weight.

The Whitman fonts are available for retail license from The Font Bureau.
