Nice is a complex type system with an enormous range of typographic possibilities. Thanks to its four optical sizes Poster, Headline, Text and Micro, it covers a wide range in terms of design and legibility: from texts in very small sizes to large, expressive billboard grabbing titles.
During the design process, Jan Fromm was continuously guided by three objectives: clarity, liveliness and legibility. The optical sizes allow a high degree of application-specific optimizations. For example, a generous x-height and open forms allow the small optical sizes of Text and Micro to be read quickly and fluently.
Nice is not a revival. Instead, the attributes of classical baroque typefaces that still make sense today have been tailored to a refreshingly modern text font. Its availability as a variable font (which is included in the Superfamily package) makes its discreet historical borrowings almost completely unrecognizable.
