Editorial New
Mathieu Desjardins released Editorial New through Pangram Pangram in 2019 — a narrow, high-contrast serif that revives the condensed serifs common in magazines of the 1980s and 90s, with nods to condensed Times and ITC Garamond. It runs from Thin to Heavy with matching italics, staying elegant at text sizes and turning theatrical in the heavier display weights, which has made it a staple of fashion and editorial web design. These free serifs cover the same contemporary high-contrast, editorial register.

Display + body that work together
Quiet type that does the work
The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.
Pages that earn the read
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.
