Typotheque
Design concept
Fedra Serif Display has been designed to complement text versions of Fedra. It has been specifically made to suit the needs of editorial design – the conditions of newspaper print, catalogues in which strong, compact headlines are important.
Numerals
Fedra Serif Display comes with proportional lining figures as default numbers. Small Caps numerals matching the proportions of small capitals are part of the font. Superscript and subscript numerals are also available.
Combining fonts
Fedra is a complex type family featuring Monospaced, Sans, Serif, Condensed and Display versions together offering a complete palette of typographic choices.
Styles
Fedra Serif Display comes in four weights, each accompanied Small Capitals. The same styles are available also in Condensed versions. There are no Italics part of the typeface family.
Ligatures
The font includes over 300 ligatures, some of which are employed to eliminate some particular collisions in text setting, for example fi, fl, ffi, fk, fh, etc. Other ligatures, however, simply lend uniqueness to text setting. With the help of the powerful contextual substitution offered by OpenType technology, using these ligatures is easier than ever before.
