概要 Merriweather

Designed by Sorkin Type for comfortable on-screen reading, Merriweather features a generous x-height, slightly condensed letterforms, and sturdy serifs that hold up well at small sizes on low-resolution displays. Its variable font implementation is unusually expressive, offering optical size, width, and weight axes simultaneously — a rarity that allows precise typographic control from caption to headline. Writers and publishers gravitate toward Merriweather for long-form editorial content and blog typography.

Design Analysis

Merriweather is a slab-influenced serif designed specifically for comfortable reading on screens. Its tall x-height, sturdy serifs, and open counters compensate for the limitations of low-resolution displays. Moderate stroke contrast and slightly condensed proportions allow longer text runs without fatigue.

Recommended Use Cases

One of the best serif choices for long-form web content, blog platforms, and digital publishing. Pairs exceptionally well with Open Sans or Source Sans for a classic editorial sans-serif/serif combination.

タイポグラフィの概念

  • Serif

    A small decorative stroke added to the end of a letter's main strokes. Serif fonts (like Times New Roman) have these; sans-serif fonts don't.

  • Leading

    The vertical distance between lines of text, measured from baseline to baseline. Named after lead strips used in letterpress printing.

  • Measure

    The length of a line of text, typically 45–75 characters for optimal readability. Too long or too short reduces reading comfort.

  • Responsive Typography

    Typography that adapts to different screen sizes — using media queries, viewport units, or CSS clamp() for fluid scaling.

  • Line Height

    The CSS property controlling the distance between lines of text. Typically set to 1.5 or 150% for body text readability.

  • Readability

    How comfortably extended text can be read in longer passages — affected by font choice, size, line-height, measure, and color contrast.
