LL Kleisch Headline
Lineto · Chiachi Chao · 2024
A Baroque-derived Latin serif by Chiachi Chao, built from the ground up to sit harmoniously alongside CJK Ming typefaces in bilingual typesetting.
About
Designed by Chiachi Chao and released in 2024, the family draws on Van Djik, Kis and Fleischman to identify formal features in Latin serif letterforms that correspond to characteristics found in Ming characters. The Headline subfamily increases contrast relative to the text-size LL Kleisch, making it suited to large-scale settings. A variable version with weight and contrast axes allows fine-grained matching to specific Ming designs.
Classification
Based on Baroque and Neoclassical models including Van Djik, Kis and Fleischman, with elevated contrast optimised for large sizes; the design bridges formal features of Latin serif and CJK Ming typefaces.
