Stilson Display

From Carter & Cone

Typefaces come and go, but since 1997, The Washington Post‘s headlines have been distinguished by the iconic Stilson, designed by Matthew Carter. In 2009, Richard Lipton, Jill Pichotta, and Dyana Weissman expanded upon the modern serif font family adding Display & Condensed widths for use at larger scale. Concise and elegant, its forms balance authority with economy — headlines feel substantial without becoming heavy or congested. Stilson, Stilson Display, and Stilson Display Condensed are available in Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic.
