Sole Serif is a newspaper face with features relating to book typography.
Inspiration from Francesco Griffo’s romans was adapted to resist the rough usage typical of newspaper printing without any loss of quality.
Sole Serif is available in an extensive range of cuts including extra bold and ultra thin.
With its big x-height, short ascenders and a roundish and wide italic for text and titles, it has all the attributes of a newspaper face.
Nonetheless, details like the inclined axis, calligraphic terminations, Renaissance proportions and a refined but slightly mannered design, all evoke the book rather than the daily paper.
In 2018 the Guardian Media Group opted for the Italian type designers at CAST to revamp The Observer, the oldest Sunday paper in the world.
