GFS Orpheus is an old style serif typeface based on the text found in a school textbook entitled Στοιχειώδης Φυσική Ιστορία, published by the publisher Anestis Konstantinidis in Athens on 1887.
Its design is characterized by an outstanding subtlety and purity in its letterforms. With almost round counters, a low x-height, a fairly high contrast and a nearly horizontal axis, it is a very elegant and legible typeface that works excellently on small text.
GFS Orpheus was designed by George Triantafyllakos.
