Abril Text has been manually hinted for optimal web performance on all platforms. As well looking great on Mac OS X, it renders beautifully on Windows 7, XP and Vista.

Conceived specifically for intensive editorial use, whether it is in newspapers, magazines or digital media, Abril is a font family of two worlds. The headline styles of Abril Display are based on a contemporary revamp of classic Didone styles, whereas the text styles are more closely inspired by 19th century slab serifs and scotch roman types.

The text styles maintain consistency with the headline styles, and at first glance may appear to have the same shapes only with lower contrast. However, in reality the letter forms of Abril Text were engineered from scratch to achieve a color, texture and overall width that allow using the font comfortably for continuous reading

Abril competes, in terms of economy of space, head to head with some newspaper classics such as Utopia or Nimrod, but featuring a more contemporary look and feel.
