Hightower

Hightower is a soft and inky take on the “Venetian” genre of text faces, which began with Nicholas Jenson’s roman of 1470. Hightower’s wide proportions and deep color were calibrated for small text sizes. Its organic forms and details also work well in headlines, adding complexity and subtlety. [store.typenetwork.com]
