About
Designed as part of a wider system of interconnected typefaces for The Independent newspaper, this headline cut shares proportions and structure with the text and sans siblings but is drawn specifically for display use. The family earned a D&AD Yellow Pencil in 2014 and the Typeface Design prize at the Tokyo Type Directors Club in 2015. Available in Medium and Medium Italic, it suits editorial work where hierarchy and brand consistency across print and digital are both required.
Classification
