Playfair Display - Free Serif Family

Playfair Display grows out of the late-eighteenth-century transition to high-contrast type, taking cues from John Baskerville's letters and the Scotch Roman styles that followed. Its delicate hairlines, large x-height, and short descenders were made for titling, giving headlines an elegant, period-classical air. The family perfectly suits editorial titles, magazine headlines, wedding invitations, book covers, luxury branding, blog headers, poster headlines, pull-quotes, and boutique identities.

Included:

• variable weight from Regular to Black with italics;
• uppercase and lowercase letters;
• numbers, punctuation, and symbols;
• multilingual support across extended Latin and Cyrillic scripts;
• ligatures and OpenType features, including small caps and old-style figures.
