Body
Crimson Text
A chancery-hand title over Garamond-inspired text: both look back to early book lettering, so the page keeps one bookish register while the script's tiny lowercase stays confined to the heading.

BPOZZ Design Note

Tall ascenders are what define it; the upstream notes they take a wide line space, so a title running to two lines needs extra line-height. With a lowercase among the four smallest relative to its capitals in the library, it also needs a large size to read.
