About
The Headline optical size of Kisba Nova pushes the family's neoclassical contrast to its most dramatic register, with thin monolinear diacritics and punctuation that reinforce its contemporary edge. Seven weights from Thin to Black give range across titles and editorial headlines, and around 600 glyphs per weight cover extended Latin with OpenType features including oldstyle and lining figures, discretionary ligatures and case-sensitive forms. The companion Text subfamily handles smaller sizes, keeping the visual character intact at reading scale.
Classification
Kisba Nova Headline is a high-contrast display serif combining wedge serifs and spiky spurs with soft ball terminals, drawing on neoclassical stroke contrast traditions while pushed toward expressive, theatrical extremes.
