The Gentium Basic font family builds on the original Gentium design, offering several additional weights for versatile use. This family includes a complete set of regular, bold, italic, and bold italic fonts, making it suitable for various typographic needs.
However, it is essential to note that the character set supported by Gentium Basic is limited compared to the Gentium Plus fonts. Specifically, it covers only the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement Unicode ranges, along with a selection of commonly used extended Latin characters. Unfortunately, this means that full extended Latin IPA, complete support for Central European languages, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts are not included.
For those seeking a slightly darker weight, the Gentium Book Basic family provides a similar style, offering another option for effective typographic solutions.
