Drawn at text size
Stems, joins and spacing are set for 9 to 12 points before any display cut exists, so the paragraph keeps its colour and rhythm.
Serif faces cut for the long read.
Independent type foundry
Syrif draws text serifs for books, essays and magazines. Every letter is drawn at reading size first, proofed in real paragraphs and sold under one short license you can read before your coffee cools.
How a face is made
Drawn small first, then everything else.
Most typefaces are drawn big and shrunk down. A Syrif face starts at 10 points, because that's where most people meet it: in a column of text, page after page.
Proofed in real columns
Each family is set in essays, footnotes and pull quotes, printed on uncoated paper and reread on screens until no letter catches the eye.
One license, plain words
Print, web and ebook use are covered on a single page, with no tiers to decode and no clauses hidden in an appendix.
