About
Beatrice Headline is the display-optimised grade of Sharp Type's Beatrice family, drawn specifically for use at headline and large-format sizes. Its high stroke contrast and crisp hairlines reward generous sizing, making it a strong choice for editorial mastheads, fashion campaigns, and luxury brand applications. A six-weight range with companion italics gives it enough range to build display hierarchies without switching families.
