Terza Collection
One typeface, three speeds
Greg Gazdowicz designed Terza through an exploration of how humans interact with digital text. The family spans three modes—Reader, Author, and Editor—each calibrated to a distinct writing or reading context. Terza Display joined in 2024, adding an intermediate speed to the system.
Set in Terza Reader, Terza Author, Terza Editor, Terza Display
Insights
- Terza Reader draws from Bembo, Centaur, and Poliphilus—all rooted in Griffo's Aldine types—as its high-speed reference point.
- Terza Author widens and opens spacing to decelerate the composing tempo, suited to drafting new material on screen.
- Terza Editor adopts monospaced typewriter conventions to produce a steady rhythm suited to editing and coding.
- Terza Display was added in 2024 as an intermediate speed within the multimodal collection.
