Edie & Eddy provides you with three different ways to lay out your argument. Sharing a Hairline base weight, each member of the Edie & Eddy superfamily has a different voice through treatment of contrast. A well-spoken Modern, an emphatic Slab and the crisply articulate Edie & Eddy Text. Together, they’re an exploration of the possibilities of the variable font format. While the superfamily contains two extremes, Modern and Slab, the Text family is an alto tone. Its contrast is visible, but not as high and strict as the Modern’s, and the Slab’s stability brings a bass-tone to Text. A reliable text face, Edie & Eddy Text might feel like a compromise, but it makes its points in longer text without losing character. Let it shine in well-structured articles, interesting books, articulate magazines and anywhere an interested, sturdy companion is wanted. Like any good text family, Edie & Eddy Text comes with suitable italic styles. The long in- and outstrokes combine with the rounded diagonals to bring a softer tone. Slightly narrower than the upright, the italics affect the texture of the text, to emphasise, to format, or simply to make a statement. With the help of stylistic alternatives, a clearer cursive can be activated — with sans serif ascenders, other variants of ›a‹ and ›g‹ as well as sharper shapes of ›v‹, ›w‹ and ›y‹. For those who want to further emphasise the soft tone of the italics, the script-like ›s‹ can be activated. A clear argument can be underlined with a change of tone. Edie & Eddy has small caps, all kinds of figures and some rude, powerful and also peaceful hand emojis. It covers the Latin alphabet, including Vietnamese glyphs. With each 8 weights from Thin to Black plus matching italics, the families cover all designers' dreams. It is possible to highlight without the usual italic style: the Edie & Eddy superfamily was designed to be used together. Combine the Text with the Modern, the Slab Italic to a Text, you get the idea. A heated discussion, a clear statement, a counter argument. All this and more is possible in a variable superfamily born to harmonise, and differentiate. Go check out the rest of the bunch!
