Chiswell
A 40-style serif family from Blaze Type split across two optical subfamilies, with the Normal cut offering three cap-height variants for fine control over vertical rhythm.
About
The family divides into Chiswell Large, intended for display and headline use, and Chiswell Normal, which runs across Tall, Median and Short cap-height variants to give precise command over text density and line spacing. Both subfamilies span five weights from Light to Black with matching italics, and the full collection is available as a variable font. The cap-height axis in the Normal family is an unusual structural decision that makes Chiswell particularly well suited to complex editorial and publishing contexts.
Classification
The family's optical size split into Large and Normal subfamilies, combined with its range of cap-height variants (Tall, Median, Short), points to a text-oriented transitional serif designed for fine typographic control across body and display contexts.
