Description
A display sans for one paragraph (or shorter) length text: quotes, openings, titles, etc. Sure, you could use it for body copy and get away with it, but that’s not where the typeface shines. The bigger – the better. The font has many, many languages and features. More than you’ll ever need, stuff like small caps punctuation or Bulgarian/Serbian alternates (see the included PDF). Neris is the name of my city’s river. While it doesn’t really translate into anything meaningful, it looks good in both Lithuanian and English while showcasing most of the distinct features: slanted /e, semi-serif /i, stylized ink traps, curved sharp joints. Made with Glyphs – a great app. Neris font family comes in 12 fonts: 6 weights each with an italic. 9 font are absolutely free, 3 are paid.
