Tarzana specimen from Emigre

Zuzana Licko's 1998 serif family for Emigre, structured around two extreme width variants — Narrow and Wide — each available in Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.

About

Tarzana offers two sharply differentiated width axes — Narrow and Wide — giving designers a family that can shift dramatically in texture and colour within a single typeface. Each width is supported by four styles: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. Designed during Emigre's most experimental period, the typeface reflects Licko's interest in exploring the boundaries of conventional letterform proportion.

Classification

Tarzana is a serif typeface with both narrow and wide width variants, designed by Zuzana Licko in 1998. Its proportional extremes — from compressed narrow to expansive wide — suggest a transitional serif sensibility adapted for experimental typographic range.
