About
Developed by Cyrus Highsmith from his display-oriented Occupant Modern, this text cut adjusts the delicate stroke contrast, proportions and spacing to hold up at running-text sizes across both print and digital media. Marie Otsuka designed the italics and assisted with production, contributing to a five-weight family with matching italics and small caps. Language coverage spans Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Greek, with a thorough range of figure styles including oldstyle, tabular and superior figures.
Classification
Explicitly positioned within the Didone or modern classification by the foundry, with high contrast strokes and compact spacing adapted from the display-oriented Occupant Modern for text use.
