About Noticia Text

Noticia Text is a slab serif typeface made for the body copy of online newspapers. Its lowercase is tall, the serifs are large and blunt, and the openings of letters such as c, e and s are wide, which keeps words clear at small sizes on coarse screens. The capitals are noticeably short; the official notes suggest they can stand in for small caps when a little tracking is added. Round letters have a break in their inner curve, a device that allows straighter stems and more open counters at text sizes. The family has Regular and Bold, each with a true italic, as four static fonts of 693 glyphs. According to the notes, the fonts were hinted by hand for rendering on Windows. JM Solé designed the family, which was added to Google Fonts in 2012.

Where Noticia Text works

News article text

The tall lowercase and open apertures were drawn for running text on newspaper sites and apps.

Small type on low-resolution screens

Manual hinting and big serifs keep letters distinct where pixels are scarce.

Acronyms inside paragraphs

The short capitals let abbreviations sit in a line without shouting; add a little tracking.

Quotes and emphasis

True italics for both Regular and Bold give a clear change of voice inside body copy.

No Cyrillic or Greek
