Say Hello to Ambroise
Check out Ambroise, created by French type designer Jean François Porchez. Notable characters are the “g”, “y” and “K”, which are apparently close adaptations to the original 19th century Firmin Didot design. There are a lot of typefaces that fall into the Didot/Bodini category, but with Ambroise in particular, there is an incredible elegance to the characters (especially that “K”). It looks like it also has some tame alternate characters incase this “g” does not suit your needs.
FontShop is exclusively selling Porchez’s work in the US. Go here to check out some of his other excellent creations. FontShop of course did a nice write up on the new additions to their catalogue.
