A flare-serif with higher-than-usual contrast that reads cleanly at text sizes and asserts itself at display scales, across eight weights with matching oblique italics.
About
Leifa sits between Didone drama and humanist approachability, using flattened serifs and deeply incised tapered spurs to soften what might otherwise be cold high-contrast forms. The family spans eight weights from Thin to Black, each with an optically corrected oblique italic, totalling 16 styles. Each style carries 883 glyphs, including small caps, old-style and tabular figures, fractions, case-sensitive forms and four stylistic sets for the a, f, g and punctuation.
Classification
Described explicitly as a flare-serif, Leifa sits between Didone high contrast and humanist warmth, with flattened serifs and tapered spurs rather than the strictly geometric bracketing of a Didone.
