The cuts
Glyph Press, cut by cut.
-
01
Display cut
Tight tracking and open counters that hold at poster size without going brittle.
-
02
Text cut
Optical size for long reading — ink traps and spacing tuned for 10–12 point.
-
03
Caption cut
A denser face for labels and footnotes that still matches the text colour.
-
04
Italic mates
True italics drawn as companions, not slanted romans with a costume change.
-
05
Tabular figures
Lining and oldstyle numerals that keep columns honest in tables and price lists.
-
06
Language coverage
Latin extended with the marks editorial work actually needs, not a checkbox dump.
