The Vitesse family contains six weights from Thin to Black, each provided in roman and italic. Vitesse maintains visually consistent intervals between its weights, to ensure that every style has a heavier counterpart that provides the same degree of emphasis.

Many of the design decisions that contribute to Vitesse’s personality in headlines also help it to reproduce more clearly in text. Signature details like its serif-less C, G, J, and S serve to reduce visual noise, helping to improve the fonts’ clarity at small sizes. Like its sans serif cousin Forza, Vitesse has a tall lowercase, large and square counters, and deep notches at the intersections of its curves, all of which lend the typeface extra clarity in small sizes, and help even its heaviest weights reproduce crisply. Owing to its short ascenders and descenders, Vitesse sits ‘large on the body,’ appearing bigger than expected at text sizes, and inviting tight leading. Like most typefaces, Vitesse benefits from a little extra letterspacing at small sizes.

The following tables offer some conservative guidelines for the smallest sizes at which the fonts can comfortably be reproduced and read, assuming typical reading conditions, and conventional contrast between type and background colors. The recommendations for sizes on screen are based on the coarser resolutions of older, entry-level monitors: at the higher resolutions available on modern phones, tablets, and laptops, type is viable at even smaller sizes.

For digital applications, Vitesse ScreenSmart is an adaptation specifically designed for use on screen at text sizes, and engineered to deliver superior rendering in web browsers.

Vitesse uses Stylistic Sets, an OpenType feature available in many applications that makes it easier to apply related substitutions together.

Vitesse automatically adjusts spacing to improve typography.
