Acta Display Book Regular

Acta Display Book Regular was originally designed in 2010 by Dino dos Santos for the Chilean newspaper La Tercera. This typeface was part of a larger project to create a versatile and elegant type system that could handle the rigorous demands of daily newspaper production while maintaining a high level of aesthetic sophistication. The Display version is specifically optimized for large-scale usage, featuring increased contrast and sharper details than its text counterparts.

The font is characterized by its neoclassical influences and sharp, triangular serifs, which provide a distinct personality in editorial environments. As a staple of the DSType foundry, Acta Display Book Regular has become a favorite among graphic designers for its ability to convey authority and grace simultaneously. It bridges the gap between traditional newsprint typography and modern digital publishing with its clean lines and balanced proportions.
