Domaine Display
Domaine Display is Kris Sowersby's high-contrast display serif for Klim Type Foundry, released in 2013 as the display cut of the wider Domaine family. It blends French and British serif traditions into a modern-transitional voice, with gently bracketed triangular serifs and distinctive hooked terminals that read sharp at large sizes. It has become a common choice for luxury, editorial, and fashion branding. These free serifs work in the same high-contrast display register without the license fee.

Quiet type that does the work
Body type does the heavy lifting. Get it right and the reader never thinks about it; get it wrong and they feel it before they can name what is off.

A grammar of empty space
Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.
