About
Part of the Silva superfamily alongside Silva Text, the Display cut offers 16 styles across eight weights from Extralight to Ultrablack, each with a matching italic. Slightly condensed proportions, a generous x-height and moderated ascenders and descenders make it economical on the page without sacrificing readability at larger sizes. The character set is extensive, covering old-style and lining figures, tabular variants, fractions, ligatures, small capitals and broad Latin language support.
