About
LD Elly was developed by Bente Baseler during her MA studies at the University of Reading, and named after her great-grandmother Elisabeth. It pairs stable, baseline-anchored serifs with a quiet, even colour across four weights, tuned so the three scripts sit together without any one dominating. It reads as a text face first, built for literature and editorial pages rather than headlines.
