Introducing Bearings: a print typeface designed for the web and a web face designed for print. Bearings is a serif font that is designed to be readable at any size, in any format.
Includes Bearings Regular for use on one device. For additional weights, see the Bearings bundle.
Bearings is made for newspapers, and more specifically, street newspapers.
When you buy a street paper, you help someone help themselves. For that person, their street paper is a way to get their life together. It’s a way to be seen and to be heard. It’s a way to find their bearings. Bearings is a typeface that connects your world to theirs. It’s genuine, real, and dignified, yet not intrusive. Bearings is more accessible than traditional newspaper typography and is more translatable into new media: a print typeface designed for the web and a web face designed for print.
Bearings tells the story of the vendor. It’s a typeface that keeps their roots strong, yet shows how they’ve grown to become a self-employed and self-helping part of society. Bearings comes in four weights (light, regular, semi-bold, and bold), as well as italics. Each of the 557 characters has been painstakingly crafted to read well in print and on screen, at any size and on any device.
