Design Concept
Fedra Sans was designed as a text typeface; it performs superbly in long passages of text, even at the smallest text sizes. Instead of extrapolating lighter or darker versions of Fedra Sans for display use, we decided to specially design a new Display family. This allowed us to make substantial design changes optimised for compact setting and large text use. We also added a large collection of titling ligatures and ornaments. Fedra Sans Display is ideally suited to large headline settings where space is limited and a strong, contemporary appearance is desired.
Discretionary Ligatures
Fedra Sans Display, being a dedicated headline font, also contains a large collection of ligatures designed for use in large text sizes. They are disabled by default, and need to be activated as a Discretionary ligature in your design application.
Instant Titles and Logos
A set of common definite articles, indefinite articles and prepositions available in several major languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch) match the height of the capitals and can be combined in headlines to save room. They can be activated automatically as an OpenType feature (Contextual Alternates). A logo-like article ‘THE’ can be accessed simply by typing space + T + H + E + space.
