Erotique
Zetafonts · Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Maria Chiara Fantini, Solenn Bordeau, Andrea Tartarelli · 2020
A high-contrast display serif from Zetafonts that fuses oldstyle letterforms with calligraphic distortions and an extensive set of alternate glyphs for editorial and branding work.
About
Designed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini and Maria Chiara Fantini, Erotique builds on Zetafonts' earlier Lovelace, pushing its romantic curves toward something sharper and more unsettling. Four weights from Monoline to Bold are available in both standard and Alternate cuts, with a companion sans, a text variant and two ornament packs rounding out the family. Over 500 glyphs per style cover 190 languages in extended Latin, with OpenType features including stylistic alternates across nine sets, swash forms and discretionary ligatures.
Classification
A high-contrast oldstyle-influenced serif designed expressly for display use, with calligraphic distortions and quirky alternate letterforms that push it firmly into the display category rather than conventional text serif.
