The 24-weight, sans serif, Scout™ typeface family (and a related logotype) was drawn by Cyrus Highsmith, a senior type designer at Font Bureau, for Geraldine Hessler's 2006 redesign of Entertainment Weekly® magazine. Industrial in tone, yet strategically softened enough to convey a hint of warmth, it's a design that derives its structural elements from both new and old: DIN, Venus, and Cairoli (a quirky and forgotten Aldo Novarese typeface).
The Scout font is a quiet soldior in the world of typography. Exceptionally clean and unencumbered by bells and whistles, it can be called on for any purpose - from body text to the largest of headlines. The 24 available weights cover the full spectrum: thin, extra light, light, regular, bold, and black with italics in normal and condensed widths, resulting in a super family of the highest rank.
