Now showing: The Silent Star
Think of a 1920s movie palace marquee and you have most of Limelight already. Nicole Fally took the high-contrast geometric sans of the Art Deco years, the style that still says theater and old Hollywood at a glance, and gave it a careful rendering for Sorkin Type.
The thick parts are very thick and the thin parts very thin, and that contrast decides how you use it. Keep it at medium and large sizes on a web page; small, the hairlines break up. It also sets wide, so a title in it needs room to stretch.
1 Regular, Latin and Latin Extended, no OpenType features to speak of. A film night poster or the cover of a cocktail list is where we would use it, and with a quiet sans underneath for the details.
