Edict Display
Schick Toikka · Florian Schick, Lauri Toikka
Edict's display optical size: the sharper, higher-contrast cut for headlines, set in five weights with full swash italic.
About
Edict Display is the larger-size cut of the Edict family, drawing on Jean Jannon and wider French Garalde-Transitional sources to deliver sharper serifs, more pronounced teardrop terminals and finer hairlines for headlines and titling. Five static weights with matching italics include opulent swash capitals and lowercase terminal forms, plus small caps for advanced typesetting. Edict Display sits at the top of a hierarchy that extends down through Edict Text for body sizes; both subfamilies share Latin Extended language support and OpenType figure sets.
