Eames Alternate Serifs

Default settings have rounded brackets in the serifs of C, G and S (and of course their lowercase, small cap versions and diacritic siblings). A stylistic set (available in Adobe InDesign) switches these to serifs with a sharper cut, which makes the type look a bit crisper. For instance if you want to use a single word at a large size.
