Empirica is a sophisticated serif typeface developed by Tobias Frere-Jones and Nina Stossinger, blending modern design with refined simplicity. With its narrow letterspacing, Empirica was originally crafted for magazine headlines but has since evolved into a versatile typeface family, featuring six weights and italics. Its clean and space-efficient design allows for flexibility across various creative projects.
The font’s alternate short descenders provide additional options for tight line spacing, making it an excellent choice for editorial projects like magazines and newspapers. Whether used in branding or identity design, Empirica delivers a strong, elegant visual impact while maintaining readability and style in any medium.
