DescriptionLyon Collection Lyon is a contemporary interpretation of Robert Granjon’s seminal serif typefaces from the 16th century, bringing book and type designer Kai Bernau’s fresh point of view to classical Renaissance forms. First released as a standalone text face, Lyon was later expanded to include an elegant display size, further adding to its versatility. Lyon Text 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. Lyon Display Lyon Display sharpens some aspects of Lyon Text, such as the serifs, while softening others, including the hard corners on the ball terminals and the the lowercase g, and the incoming strokes in the italic lowercase. This family is a decidedly contemporary take on the Oldstyle tradition, with relatively high contrast and a wide weight range. However, it remains faithful to the genre’s conventions: the contrast still is far lower than it would be in a display Modern, and the heaviest weights manage to avoid crossing over into self-parody.
