Display

“Display” means type intended for large sizes. When referring to optical sizing, Display is a counterpart to Body and represents stylistic differences that make a Display variant more suitable to being set at large sizes, such as greater stroke contrast and tighter spacing.

The word “Massive” set in a display optical size and, beneath it, “and tiny” set in a body optical size. The display size is highlighted.

Display can also be used as a catch-all term for a loose grouping of decorative typefaces, which can be a useful genre classification when choosing fonts from a large library. These are faces that are only ever intended for large sizes, usually due to genre, decoration, or fine detail.
