Parmigiano Caption
A caption-optimised cut from the Parmigiano system, a classical serif family taking its cues from the typographic tradition of Parma and Bodoni.
About
Part of a four-member optical size system that ranges from Piccolo through Caption and Text to Headline, Parmigiano Caption is tuned for small-size setting with adjusted stroke contrast and open spacing to maintain legibility. The full system offers six weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, and a variable version of the Text subfamily is also available. The family sits comfortably in book, magazine and long-form editorial work where consistent performance across multiple sizes is a requirement.
Classification
