I miss you. I miss you deeply! Maybe you’ve already realized how much attention I pay to you (I make it way to obvious, right?), but I can’t pretend that this mysterious and intense look you have doesn’t fascinate me. Those two pearls that make your face even more enchanting, that way, looking at you is always inevitable to me. Your eyes look as if they behold a magic power, because they shine like a cosmic ray that’s crossing the universe, capable of giving light to all the darkness in the universe. You know I’ve been meaning to tell you all this for a while now, but I was in doubt every time I stopped to think about how you could react, especially when I revealed my wish to look in your lovely eyes each time closer. Well; I got some courage and so I ask: would you like to go out for some ice-cream or coffee sometime? See you

Playfair is a transitional design. From the time of enlightenment in the late 18th century, the broad nib quills were replaced by pointed steel pens. This influenced typographical letterforms to become increasingly detached from the written ones. Developments in printing technology, ink, and paper making, made it possible to print letterforms of high contrast and delicate hairlines.

This design lends itself to this period, and while it is not a revival of any particular design, it takes influence from the designs of printer and typeface designer John Baskerville, the punchcutter William Martin’s typeface for the ‘Boydell Shakspeare’ (sic) edition, and from the ‘Scotch Roman’ designs that followed thereafter.

As the name indicates, Playfair Display is well suited for titling and headlines. It has an extra large x-height and short descenders. It can be set with no leading if space is tight, for instance in news headlines, or for stylistic effect in titles. Capitals are extra short, and only very slightly heavier than the lowercase characters. This helps achieve a more even typographical colour when typesetting proper nouns and initialisms. Languages, like German, where nouns are capitalized, particularly benefit from this lower contrast between lower and upper case glyphs. In German, with its many capitalised words, and in other European languages that use many diacritical characters, it is advised to use more leading.

Being a transitional design, stylistically Playfair can accompany Georgia, where Georgia is used for body text.
