About
Abril provides five weights with matching italics across two distinct optical branches: Display styles carry a strong, newsy presence on the page, while the Text styles were engineered from the ground up to deliver the correct colour, texture and column width for sustained reading in print and on screen. The family supports a broad range of OpenType features including oldstyle figures, discretionary ligatures and multiple stylistic sets. Its design sits within a wider system of related families spanning different scales and applications.
Classification
A contemporary newsface with strong contrast and classic editorial proportions, split into Display and Text subfamilies engineered for different reading contexts. The high-contrast Display cuts draw on traditional newspaper type while the Text styles are optimised for continuous reading at small sizes.
