Hiday is a magazine about branding and digitization by Bloom Identity, based in Bern, Switzerland. I love the way they use Dunbar Tall, Low and Text all together in an editorial context. They make use of the full range of weights available in Dunbar, using a range of sizes from large pull-quotes and headline to smaller credits and site navigation. Note that, while all text is German, the hashtags and menu are in English.
Notice that Dunbar has an interesting take on the concept of optical sizes. It is available in two display variants, with an x-height that grows from Low to Tall, and a Text optical size with a moderate x-height in between. On a first glance, the uppercase characters in all three sizes may look identical, but they are not. For instance, T, P, R, K are optically adjusted in the Tall styles. Images below are taken from CJ Type, who has more to tell on the subject.
