About
A display serif by Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones and the H&Co studio, drawn as the headline complement to Mercury Text. Sharper serifs, finer hairlines and tighter spacing make it suited to newspaper mastheads, magazine titles and editorial spreads where the text family would feel soft. Four weights with italics keep it usable for full headline hierarchies.
