Description

Merriweather was designed to be a text face that is pleasant to read on screens. It features a very large x height, slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open forms. There is also Merriweather Sans , a sans-serif version which closely harmonizes with the weights and styles of this serif family. The Merriweather project is led by Sorkin Type, a type design foundry based in Western Massachaussets, USA. To contribute, see github.com/SorkinType/Merriweather

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
