These four space-saving weights were designed with increased contrast, tighter spacing and more refined details and are ideally suited for headline typography and nameplates. While the text fonts are typical workhorse typefaces, the Display fonts are elegant, compact and strong at large sizes, ideal for effective headlines. With its combination of text and display fonts, Greta offers a complete palette of typographic choices.
