Display

nounStandard termPrinting

Large or prominent type used for headings rather than body text.

Type that is set in a large size or bold style to catch the eye, distinct from the smaller body text used for continuous reading. It is typically used for headlines, titles, posters, and advertisements. Display typefaces are often designed with tighter spacing and more intricate details that only work well at large scales.

We need a stronger display font for the cover, something that jumps off the shelf.
