Tablet Gothic in the online version of Die Zeit

Zeit Online, the online version of the German weekly Die Zeit, serves an audience of over 6 million users per month.

While the website is now fully responsive to screen size and platform, it is held in place by the pleasing and trustworthy use of Tablet Gothic in headlines, subheads, menus, links, supporting texts, and captions — almost everything but long paragraph texts.
