The Book weight sits between the Regular and the Medium, and is only a notch heavier than the former. Suisse Works’ forward-looking attitude is exemplified by the absence of upward-pointing serifs in C, G, S, or the a’s terminal that doesn’t carry a ball but instead is horizontally cut – a feature it has in common with Suisse Int’l and Neue. It’s more sophisticated than the transitional serif typefaces of former times, though, with smoother, consistent details and balanced proportions across all styles. With its tapered serifs and the pronounced contrast along a diagonal stress axis, Suisse Works stands squarely in the tradition of classic reading faces. At the same time, Suisse Works is elegant, too: Especially the italic and bold styles introduce an expressiveness that may serve for catchy titles and headings. Thanks to the efficient spacing, it’s a smart choice for longer texts, in newspapers, magazines, and beyond. The sturdy build provides for an even texture. It’s characterized by wide capitals, a very large x-height, and open apertures, guaranteeing superb readability both in print and on screen. Suisse Works was developed as a serviceable text serif for the 21st century. There are no limits in regard to the number of uses, domains, or website visitors.

Suisse Int’l is the present-day equivalent of the type used by the pioneers in Switzerland and beyond. Also known as International Typographic Style, it’s characterized by sans serif type typically set flush-left, in grid-based layouts that are derived from the content.

It’s the typeface of choice for any designer who’s fond of the Swiss Style and its legacy. Suisse Int’l is the best Swiss Grotesk available in digital form.
