About
Drawing on late 19th and early 20th century grotesque conventions, Ida pairs closed apertures and low contrast with an elegant character skeleton that tempers its rationality with warmth. The 18-style family covers six roman weights with matching italics and six narrow cuts, supported by small caps, alternates, discretionary ligatures and indices. The result sits comfortably across print contexts from posters to body text.
Classification
A neo-grotesque with closed apertures and low contrast, drawing on late 19th and early 20th century grotesque models while maintaining a warmer, more humanist skeleton than strict rationalist grotesques.
