Afterall
A text serif originally commissioned for the Afterall Journal and One Work book series, released publicly by A2-Type after an extensive editorial redesign.
About
Conceived as part of A2/SW/HK's redesign of the Afterall Journal and its accompanying One Work series, the family runs across five weights from Regular to Black, each with a matching italic. The design prioritises legibility at text sizes for long-form essays and features, while subtle quirks and flourishes emerge at display scales. Five weights give it enough range to handle hierarchy within a considered editorial system.
Classification
Designed primarily for long-form editorial text in a journal and book series context, with subtle quirks and flourishes becoming more apparent at display sizes — characteristic of a humanist text serif.
