NewsSerif
is the sister typeface of NewsSans. Together they are a full toolbox for all editorial and typographic challenges – analogue or digital. NewsSerif’s look is dominated by its expressive wedge-shaped serifs and its playful contrast. The 20 styles ranging from extremely Light to Black are sorted into three subfamilies: Text, Large and Huge. The letter shapes evolve throughout the different subfamilies to become more an more expressive and excessive in the Large and Huge families. Each style contains 700+ characters.
All roman styles from the NewsSerif Text family are bundled with Italics from NewsSans. While this may appear to be an unusual pairing it makes a perfect match. The roman and italic weights are balanced perfectly.
