Built's sole purpose is to create sturdy, compact headlines on screen. Its wraparound curves project your headlines in a newsy voice, designed with trust and neutrality in mind. Subtle curls evoke the feel of a different newspaper age without appearing too old-fashioned. The Built family is available in five weights, ranging from Extra-Light to Bold. However, this is not your standard thin to fat linear range. When designing for the screen, light typefaces have practical limits. With variable resolutions and screen sizes nowadays, going lighter means going bigger. Much bigger. And it's no fun if your words slip off the page. Built becomes narrower as it becomes lighter. Now you can scale up those headlines and still have room to spare. Set appealing, oversized page titles without worrying about copyfitting. When you have a list of numbers to align, tabular (monospace) numerals come in handy. But tabular numerals don't look good in headlines, and they take up too much room. Many fonts allow you to select between proportional and tabular numerals. Designers can use OpenType technology to access a variety of numerals, but deploying OpenType features on the web isn’t fun–nor is it always viable. Built has a simple solution: disable kerning and all numerals, monetary symbols, and most math symbols will line up—easy. Built contains fractions, primes, ordinals, and vertically compact accents. As Built loses weight, the asterisk grows more legs, allowing it to appear tonally even in Extra-Light. The italics are thin and loosened on the sides, giving cool emphasis that’s more than just a simple slant. Built comes in Extra-Light, Light, Regular, Semi-Bold, and Bold weights, as well as Italics. Most Latin-based European writing systems are supported, including the following languages.
