Premiéra is a typeface specifically designed to work in small sizes. A large x-height and short ascenders and descenders make it ideal for books and newspapers. Through an exhaustive process of testing readability on test prints, the face developed straight lines and sharp forms. These features not only work to make the type clear, but also give Premiéra a strong personality whether you read it in text or headlines.
The Modern typeface classification is usually associated with Didones and display faces that often have too much contrast for text use. The Ingeborg family was designed with the intent of producing a Modern face that was readable at any size. Its roots might well be historic, but its approach is very contemporary. The three text weights (Regular, Bold, and Heavy) are functional and discreet while the Display weights (Fat and Block) catch the reader’s eye with a dynamic form and a whole lot of ink on the paper. The family includes a boatload of extras like unicase alternates, swash caps, and a lined fill.
