Lyon Display sharpens some aspects of Lyon Text, such as the serifs, while softening others, including the hard corners on the ball terminals and the the lowercase g, and the incoming strokes in the italic lowercase. This family is a decidedly contemporary take on the Oldstyle tradition, with relatively high contrast and a wide weight range. However, it remains faithful to the genre’s conventions: the contrast still is far lower than it would be in a display Modern, and the heaviest weights manage to avoid crossing over into self-parody.
