typedry

Typedry is a term used in the field of typography to describe a typeface that is designed to be used at a specific size or range of sizes. This approach contrasts with typefaces that are designed to be scalable, meaning they can be used at any size without significant loss of quality. Typedry typefaces are often created with specific use cases in mind, such as headlines, body text, or display purposes. They are typically optimized for readability and aesthetic appeal at their intended size, which can result in a more consistent and harmonious design when used appropriately. However, this specificity can also limit their versatility, as they may not perform as well when used outside their intended size range. Typedry typefaces are often used in conjunction with scalable typefaces to create a balanced and visually appealing typographic hierarchy.
