Typeface Family for Digital Displays and Print
Screen-first sans that holds its own in print
Vita is a 21st-century sans serif family designed by Nikola Djurek at Typotheque, released in 2016. Drawn primarily for digital use, it was optimised to render clearly on both low- and high-resolution screens while also performing well in print. The family spans seven weights and two widths in roman and italic, totalling 28 styles. Each weight includes nine numeral variants: old-style, lining, small caps, tabular, superior, inferior, and circled figures.
