Italic

The italic does the warmth.

Body — 18 px in the face

A book serif that looks like itself at every scale — the optical size axis is real, not interpolated, so the same family that handles 14px body sets a 96px display headline without looking like a body face stretched too far. The lab uses it for body copy across editorial, clinical, and studio.
