Typography

Type sets the tone before anyone reads a sentence. Every option below shows the same concert listing so you can compare them fairly. They are grouped by the shape of the letterforms; use the words to narrow by feel, and pick more than one to combine them.

55 pairings

Serif

Small strokes finishing each letter. Reads as established, literary, and at home on a concert programme.

Sans serif

No finishing strokes. Reads as current, plain-spoken and easy to scan on a phone.

Slab

Heavy, squared-off serifs. Confident and a little industrial.

Display

Built for headlines at size, not for paragraphs.
