Emigre · Zuzana Licko · 2013
Zuzana Licko's 2013 sans-serif family for Emigre, spanning four weights with matching italics in both standard and narrow widths across 14 individual styles.
About
Program covers Book, Medium, Bold and Black weights, each with a matching italic, plus a Narrow subfamily offering Regular, Medium and Black with italics. The family is structured for sustained text setting as much as display use, with the Narrow cuts providing a more economical alternative for space-constrained layouts. Licko's characteristic attention to optical balance is evident in the progression from Book to Black.
Classification
A humanist sans-serif with a narrow width variant, suggesting functional text use. The range of weights from Book to Black with matching italics positions it as a versatile text and display family rather than a strictly geometric or grotesque design.
