Looking for light Clarendons

If anyone knows of any light clarendons (or similar) other than Clarendon Light,
I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance,
T

Hi T,

my typeface Parry offers an alternative to Clarendon. It comes with a matching grotesque.

Best,
Artur

Thanks, Artur.

Very nice indeed.

I'm also very excited about Parry. Welcome to Typophile, Artur.

Storm's Farao is a wonderful exaggeration of egyptian forms.

Hi Artur,

Can I just say your (company's) website is truly amazing! I am not a big fan of Flash these days, but you can tell a lot of thought went into the process.

Group94. They also did mine. It has a killer Flash-based Content Management System. It rawks. :^)

Hey guys, like you, yes, I think Group 94 is great and we love working with them!
But, besides the Flash-based Content Management these websites - OurType, and FontShop BNLx (yours, Yves ? :-)) - are the result of a collaboration between 2 teams: the clients and g94.
In the case of both websites, there were clear demands and expectations regarding site's functions, and a starting point regarding the graphics (certainly in the case of OurType).

Belizio Regular, maybe?

> FontShop BNLx (yours, Yves ? :-))

Well, smartypants, Rudy had it specially designed and built for little ol' me, and I'm the only one writing for it, often slaving away till 2-3 am (I have to wake up at 7 am to bring my kids to school and go to work). So Corina, please forgive me if I take the liberty of calling it "mine", even though that obviously is poetic license. I really don't think anyone believes I own FontShop. :^P

OK T Bones, sorry for this little diversion. Here's some more suggestions:

Dispatch and Freight Micro are very nice, somewhat more angular alternatives.

Monotype Ionic, when used big, has a similar appearance to Clarendon Light, but with slightly more stress (looks more handmade).

And I've always liked the generous width of Volta.
