Salient was designed by Rian Hughes and published by Device. Salient contains 14 styles and family package options. The font is currently #39 in Hot New Fonts. 

Elegant, classic yet contemporary. Salient is a updated interpretation of the Didot school of type design, typified by Giambattista Bodoni in Italy and the "modern" French styles of high-contrast fonts cut by Fermin Didot in Paris the early 19th century.

Salient is not a historical revival but a contemporary reworking, using fewer pen-derived forms especially in the lower case. This gives it a cleaner edge. Instead of ball serifs, it uses lightly flicked stroke terminals.

It is suitable for both text and headline, and the wide range of weights make it a versatile choice for books, magazines, reports, posers, packaging and corporate identities.
