"A large family intended for editorial design and situations requiring complex typographic hierarchy, Guardian was designed for Mark Porter's groundbreaking 2005 redesign of the Guardian. As a text face it exhibits a rational and clear disposition, lending a serious air to the text, while the display components capture a wide range of moods with their comprehensive range of weights. Currently made up of four related families—a Headline size in both Sans and Egyptian; a Text size in Egyptian; and an Agate Sans—this superfamily was designed to fulfill every possible typographic need throughout the daily paper: serious news headlines, expressive features, readable text, tiny financial listings, information graphics and everything in between."
