Arede Display is the display typeface of the Arede brand — the face for the wordmark, titles and posters. Every curve in it grows out of one letter: the hooked r of the arede wordmark. Its shoulder is the corner of every arch, bowl and hook; its arm is the terminal of the a, the e, the c. The result is rounder and wider than Arede Grotesk, the text face of the brand, and the two are meant to be used together.

- One style: Regular, at 600 on the CSS weight scale — the weight of the wordmark.
- Lowercase redrawn in full from the r: two-storey a and e built from the n arch, long curved tails on g and y, the r hook turned around on j and upside down on t, half-round feet where a bowl meets a stem.
- Capitals O, C, G, D, B, P, E, F, H, I, L, T, U, J on the same stems, horizontals and corners. The remaining capitals, figures, punctuation and symbols are those of Arede Grotesk 1.1, so the character set is complete: full Latin, covering Portuguese and every language Space Grotesk covers.
- Space Grotesk's OpenType features are kept (stylistic sets, tabular and old-style figures, fractions, slashed zero, case-sensitive punctuation).

The editable source is the UFO in sources/. With Python 3.10 or newer:
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./scripts/build.shFonts land in fonts/, which is always generated by the build; never edit it by hand. Builds are reproducible: the fonts are stamped with the date of the last commit that changed sources/. GitHub Actions builds and checks the fonts on every push.
The source also builds with the Google Fonts toolchain: gftools builder sources/config.yaml.
To refresh the specimen and images after a change: python3 scripts/make_specimen.py --png (needs Playwright).
To release, add a ## X.Y.Z — YYYY-MM-DD section to CHANGELOG.md, then run the Release workflow from the Actions tab (or push a vX.Y.Z tag). Preview the notes with ./scripts/release_notes.sh X.Y.Z.
scripts/derivation/ records how version 1.0 was drawn from Arede Grotesk 1.1; it is not part of the build.
