I have seen that Dorico features a new font called Splentino, by our forum member benwiggy!

Thanks for that.

It's a variation on the fine traditional font Plantin, and it's very well done. Thanks Ben.

Hi Ben,
do you know how to get the ordinals to work with Splentino? When I activate them in the Paragraph Styles dialog, the 'st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th' do not react and stay on the baseline.
Thanks!
