Hey Folks!

We’ve been playing and discussing Calibri, Aptos ( Bierstadt ), Grandview, Seaford, Tenorite and Skeena over on Tildes and I figured you folks would enjoy clicking around and seeing what the differences between them actually are.

I wrote the article, so let me know if there’s something you’d like to see as well :D

Cheers !

    What are the “display” variants of the new fonts in that article? In the examples, they’re the ones with a * appended. They look much narrower to me (which I like).

    I’m not at my PC right now, so it may just be that there’s an “Aptos Display” font or something 😅

      Yes they’re usually called “<fontfamily> Display”. IIRC Display variants are optimized to be used on digital displays (usually on the web), where a lower resolution (72ish DPI) than printing (~300 DPI) is quite common.

      What are the “display” variants of the new fonts in that article? They’re called that, at least on Office 365: Aptos Display, Grandview Display, etc.
