Lyyra Standard specimen from Schick Toikka

The standard width of Lyyra: an expressive sans in five weights with italics, with petalled counters and vertically cut endings.

About

Lyyra Standard is the default width of the Lyyra system. The foundry frame it as a self-confident face for mixed-case editorial work that can acquire monumental qualities when set in all caps. Five weights from Light to Black with matching italics carry the family's signature petalled counters, high-waisted caps and vertically cut stroke endings. The OpenType feature set covers lining, oldstyle, tabular and sub-/superscript figures plus fractions, and round dot alternates replace the default diamond dots where needed.

Classification

The default width of Lyyra; in capitals it can acquire monumental qualities, in mixed case it reads as a self-confident face suitable for editorial design and beyond.
