A modern serif by Shinntype featuring cinched vertical stems, barbed serifs and ink traps designed to preserve crispness under press gain at text size while adding visual interest at headline scale.
About
The family spans text and headline subfamilies across a wide weight range, from Regular through to Ultra, with a Bold Condensed and small caps rounding out the text styles. Ink traps at acute stem joints and lightly barbed serifs address the common problem of clogged impressions in print, making the design well-suited to newsprint and magazine work. The Headline subfamily repurposes these functional details as expressive features at larger sizes.
Classification
A modern serif with ink traps, barbed serifs and cinched vertical stems – characteristics typical of high-contrast modern (Didone-influenced) display and text types engineered for print reproduction.
