About Playfair

The variable version of Playfair by Claus Eggers Sørensen is a major evolution of the acclaimed display serif, now exposing optical size, width, and weight axes simultaneously — making it one of the most technically sophisticated editorial serifs in the open-source ecosystem. The high stroke contrast and small-cap-influenced proportions reference eighteenth-century typefaces by Caslon and Baskerville, while the variable design allows a single font file to serve both delicate caption text and bold display headlines. Cyrillic and Vietnamese coverage gives it range for multilingual luxury and editorial publishing.
