About
Designed for rigorous publication work, Fenway Banner combines strong typographic colour with excellent copyfit across its four widths — Standard, Compressed, Extra Condensed and Condensed. The romans are drawn to hold weight at text sizes, while the italics are kept deliberately economic, making the family well suited to both book typography and high-density magazine layouts. Variable font support extends its flexibility further.
