A high-contrast display serif with diagonal stress and oval counters, built for headlines rather than text.
About
Eliptico integrates angled, oval-shaped counters into letters like B, D, G, P and R, giving a playful repeating pattern across a typeface otherwise built on sharp cuts and dramatic contrast. Three weights, Bold to Black, run with italics, for six styles. It's aimed squarely at editorial headlines, branding and large-scale display type rather than body copy.
Classification
Pronounced thick-thin contrast and diagonal stress place Eliptico in the high-contrast serif category, built for display rather than text.
