Regular · 20/30 px
Vesper Display is narrow and sharp, made for words set large: a film title, a magazine masthead, a poster read across a street. Below about 24 points the hairlines get too thin, so pair it with a text face such as Almanac Text for the body copy.

About Vesper Display
Vesper Display comes in two styles, a roman and an italic, both meant for 36 points and up. The contrast is high and the letters are narrow, so a long title fits one line.
Desktop and web licenses are available now. The app license follows once the hinting for small screens is done; write to us if you need it sooner.
