Edie and Eddy Modern
TypeMates · Lisa Fischbach · 2022
A high-contrast Didone with vivid italics, designed by Lisa Fischbach as part of the three-member Edie & Eddy variable superfamily.
About
The Modern branch of the Edie & Eddy superfamily uses sharp thick-to-thin contrast and historically-informed curves to produce a crisp, sophisticated texture suited to magazines and premium branding. Eight weights from Thin to Black each carry a matching italic, which runs slightly narrower than the upright and includes stylistic alternates for a more cursive character. Designed to be mixed with the Slab and Text siblings, the family covers Latin and Vietnamese with small caps, multiple figure sets and a set of hand emojis.
Classification
Edie and Eddy Modern is a high-contrast serif with clear thick-to-thin stroke differentiation, historically-informed letterforms and expressive italics characteristic of the Didone classification.
