It was an essential element in The Guardian's move to the Berliner format and was the typeface used in the masthead until 2018. It is part of the Guardian font family, which also includes Guardian Sans, Guardian Text Egyptian, Guardian Text Sans and Guardian Agate, all of which are also used by The Guardian.
