About
A transitional display serif system from Hoefler & Co, conceived as the headline partner to the Chronicle Text family. Chronicle Display covers standard, Condensed and Compressed widths, with a Deck pair for sub-heads and a Hairline cut for the largest editorial settings. Five weights with matching italics give magazine and newspaper designers a coordinated kit for fronts, features and section openers, with the Scotch Roman lineage carrying the historical warmth of nineteenth-century American newspaper romans.
Classification
H&Co classify Chronicle Display as the display companion to Chronicle Text, a transitional serif in the lineage of Scotch Roman and nineteenth-century newspaper romans, drawn for the editorial scale where letters need more delicacy than a working text face.
