Varisse was designed by Nicholas Garner and published by AVP. Varisse contains 60 styles and family package options. The font is currently #31 in Hot New Fonts.
Varisse spans over two centuries of type design and draws its inspiration from well-loved classics that are as fresh today as they were when they were created.
The range stretches from a quintessential 18th century transitional serif to an uncompromising 20th century sans. Think Baskerville, think Gill. The idea was to create a family that shared similar forms and the same vertical metrics, allowing them to be mixed to provide impact and readability as required.
With a generous x-height and a host of options, the Varisse family is ideally suited to branding, packaging, magazines and editorial. It also provides a wealth of opportunity in website presentation.
The fonts are divided into five subfamilies by degree of ‘serification’.

Each subfamily contains six weights and accompanying italics.
