Excelsior is a clear typeface, ideal for lengthy settings. Designed in 1931 by C.H. Griffith as a newspaper font of even color, Excelsior soon became established as one of the “Linotype Legibility Group” faces. It reads easily in small sizes like 8pt and above, producing a calm effect on the page. The Excelsior font family is an excellent choice for newsletters, reports and proposals.
