Paragraph Trial

Edit the proof, ride the rails
A good text face disappears; a good display face refuses to. Heavyside tries to do both jobs badly and one job wonderfully - it is the headline that clears its throat. Set it big, give it room, and let the counters do the talking.

Questions

Asked & answered
Is Counterform a real foundry?

No. It's a fictional foundry invented to demonstrate this website template. The prices, licenses, posters, and foundry history are sample copy. The typeface itself - Fraunces by Undercase Type - is very real and free under the SIL Open Font License.

Is the hero really editable?

Yes. Click the giant headline and type; the rails beneath reshape the live type.

Can I license these fonts?

Nothing here is for sale. The family shown is Fraunces, free to everyone under the SIL Open Font License from Google Fonts.
