Lyon Text & Display Lyon is a suite of contemporary reading typefaces for modern publications, loosely based on historical models of the 16th century punch cutter Robert Granjon. Lyon reflects our convictions about modern digital typeface design: A decisively digital outline treatment that reveals our modern repertoire of tools, and the typeface itself as a modern design tool, contrasts nicely with Lyon’s 16th century heritage. Lyon Text is a book and publication typeface that is heavily informed by how we ourselves want a contemporary text typeface to perform for our design work.

Neither too coldly modern, nor overly historicising, Lyon pairs a certain generic unobtrusiveness with an attractive text image. Individual letterforms are drawn in a reduced, formally economic way, where curves and details had to be an integral element of the character, or would be removed. Lyon Display takes cues from some of the largest styles Granjon cut during his ‘middle period’.

The display family’s higher contrast, more aggressive serifs and overall sharper image allow it to soften some of the Text family’s characteristic details without looking less up-to-the-minute.

Lyon Text Roman was the centerpiece of Kai Bernau's degree project at the Type + Media course at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, but was extensively revised and expanded before its debut in the New York Times Magazine in 2009. Like many of the great seriffed typefaces it draws intelligently from the work of Robert Granjon, the master of the Renaissance, while having a contemporary feel. Its elegant looks are matched with an intelligent, anonymous nature, making it excellent for magazines, book and newspapers.
