Directa Serif Variable
A variable font evolution of Outras Fontes' space-saving text serif, offering a continuous weight axis from Thin to Heavy alongside an italic axis in a single file.
About
Built on the original Directa Serif released a decade earlier, this variable version consolidates 18 predefined styles into one file with two axes: Weight (100–900) and Italic (0–1). The family is engineered for compact text setting without sacrificing legibility, making it suited to newspapers, magazines and corporate communications. The variable format also opens up possibilities for real-time interpolation in web and motion contexts.
Classification
A text-optimised serif family designed for space efficiency and high readability, delivered as a variable font with weight and italic axes. Its focus on newspaper and magazine use places it firmly in the text serif tradition.
