Zadie
A2-Type · 2005
A decorative headline typeface drawn from Edwardian cast ironwork, with an inline Regular and a filled Solid cut.
About
Originally appearing in Vogue UK's Winter 2005 issue, the typeface later received a commissioned cut for Penguin Press's New York edition of Zadie Smith's 'On Beauty'. Available in two styles, Regular and Solid Regular, it is intended strictly for headline use where its ornamental ironwork character can read at large sizes. The family is narrow in scope but specific in purpose, suited to editorial mastheads and literary cover design.
Classification
Zadie is a decorative headline typeface with an inline/solid variant, inspired by Edwardian cast ironwork. Its ornamental character and headline-only application place it firmly in the display category.
