About
Developed using the Noordzij broad-nib technique, Herald News features prominent serifs and rounded terminals that aid readability across sizes. The family spans Light to ExtraBold, serving both body copy and display settings without requiring separate optical cuts. OpenType features include three figure styles, fractions, case-sensitive punctuation and standard ligatures, making it reasonably well-equipped for real publication work.
