NewsSerif
Character Type · Henning Skibbe
A 20-style editorial serif by Henning Skibbe, built across three optical subfamilies that grow progressively more expressive from text to display sizes.
About
Designed as the companion to NewsSans, the family covers Text, Large and Huge subfamilies, with letter shapes becoming increasingly excessive and expressive as size increases. Wedge-shaped serifs and playful stroke contrast define the overall character, and each style ships with over 700 glyphs including small caps, multiple figure sets and arrows. Text roman styles are paired with italics drawn from NewsSans, an unconventional but deliberate cross-family pairing that the foundry balances carefully across weights.
Classification
A serif with expressive wedge-shaped serifs and playful contrast, designed explicitly for editorial use across text and display sizes, with letter forms that grow increasingly expressive through its three optical subfamilies.
