Elido + Odile Super Family

Designed by Sibylle Hagmann, Elido + Odile is a multiple classification font collection published by Kontour.

Elido™ (Odile in reverse) is the sans counterpart to the Odile type.
Together they form a sans and serif superfamily with a wide range of variations for editorial and display use.
Elido follows Odile’s proportions and matches the weight and typographic color of its serif twin.
Elido is a sans with classical proportions.
Odile’s conceptual approach is echoed in the structure and relations of the Elido family.
The arched stroke low off the stem reveals a script characteristic most pronounced in the Elido Upright Italic.
Odile™ is a text typeface with bracketed head and bracket-free bottom lower case serifs, a quality that counters rigidness most traditional slab serif typefaces possess.
This contemporary design draws inspiration from an experimental typeface named Charter originally designed by the American book and type designer William Addison Dwiggins.
Odile Upright Italic reveals visible similarities shared by Dwiggins’ Charter and defines the design approach for the family.
The steep calligraphic outstroke and low junctions off the stem as in the upright italic ‘h’ or ‘m’, are gradually lessened in the italic and moved up for the roman weights.
The six optically balanced weights range from the delicate Light to stark Black, accompanied by display variants with flowing flair and ardent ornaments.
Two sorts of Initials, one amplified with interweaving swashes, the other more restrained, both are clearly derived from the Upright Italic.
