Why you should consider Abril
Abril was crafted by Veronika Burian and José Scaglione for TypeTogether with a clear focus on intensive editorial environments such as newspapers, magazines, and digital publications. The family blends two typographic worlds, providing both Display and Text styles to serve headline and body needs alike. With 22 styles ranging from Light to Black and including italics, Abril offers a cohesive system for dynamic editorial layouts.
Visual character
Abril’s visual character hinges on its sharp, high-contrast strokes seen especially in the Display styles, lending headlines a strong presence. The serifs are bracketed and moderately sharp, which enhance readability without sacrificing elegance. Italic variants maintain fluidity and complement the upright forms with subtle calligraphic curves. The Text styles feature softer contrasts and more open counters, improving legibility at smaller sizes while maintaining the family’s formal tone.
Best use cases
Font pairing ideas
