    i am bumping this threads because thompson brings up an interesting question. I undersand that any type set larger than 20pt should be considered "display". But What makes a display font a display font? Take Minion for example... It has display varriants of all weights. If I were to design a display varriant for a face what would I be taking into consideration? Would I exagerate the details of the face that might otherwise get lost in body text?
