Herald News

Inspired by local journalism, Herald News is a versatile serif text family crafted for editorial work. It strikes a balance between a serious tone suitable for hard-hitting stories and a warm feel for those that bring a smile.

Its OpenType features enhance typographic precision, offering three figure styles, fractions, case-sensitive punctuation, and an extensive set of special characters tailored for the diverse needs of real publication work. Ideal for branding, web design, and editorial projects, Herald News combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, making it a reliable choice for any written content.
