Introducing Abril Text & Display
Abril is a fabulous new font family from Type Together. Abril is a font family of two worlds: 8 text styles and 10 display styles.

The text styles are inspired by 19th century slab serifs and 'scotch' roman types. They maintain consistency with the display styles, and at first glance may appear to have the same shapes only with lower contrast. However, in reality the letter forms of Abril Text were engineered from scratch to achieve a colour, texture and overall width that allow using the font comfortably for continuous reading.
The Abril Display weights, perfect for eye-catching headlines, are based on a contemporary revamp of classic Didone styles, and manage to convey both neutrality and strong presence on the page. They attract the reader's attention with measured tension in the curves and eye-catching but equally legible high contrast.
