A five-weight serif that strips letterforms down to their basic parts without losing character.
About
LD Elsnac grew out of chalkboard examples Kai Büschl drew for first-year students at the Designschule München, reducing roman letterforms to their essential parts while keeping a distinct, contemporary look. It runs to five weights with italics, small caps and multiple figure sets, and Lazydogs also supply a beta variable-font version alongside the static family.
Classification
A modernist-leaning serif reduced to its most basic letterforms, developed from chalkboard teaching examples rather than a historical revival.
