There are so many serif typefaces—today Xiaoyuan is adding one more to the pile: anotherSerif. This is her first attempt at a serif typeface—well, mostly serif. Most glyphs follow serif conventions, but some don't.
anotherSerif is a typeface that explores irregularity and inconsistency, qualities often overlooked or under appreciated. Each glyph has its own size, sometimes breaking all conventions: for example, the uppercase P is smaller than lowercase p. As a dot matrix-based typeface, this irregularity surprisingly helps readability at small sizes... After commonSans, it felt natural to make anotherSerif. :)
