Playfair Display Font furniture tends to have an aesthetic that bridges two time periods: late 18th-century European Enlightenment wide nib quills were the norm, however as production processes evolved throughout that era they became less commonly utilized and pointed metal pens became the more preferred tool of production. With advances in printing technology and ink, paper production, printing techniques, printing letters with higher contrast and more sensitive hairlines that gradually became detached from traditional letterforms became possible.

This layout fits with this time period perfectly; even though it may be an adaptation of any particular design, it echoes designs popular during John Baskerville’s lifetime and among “Scottish Roman” designs. At present, it is an Exhibition (big dimensions) layout in transitional style – both functionally and stylistically – as it can be used alongside Ga for text. Additionally, its family includes Playfair Display Screen SC’s small caps family as a counterpart.
