Alizé was created by Tom Grace and released by TypeTogether. Alizé consists of 3 styles and family plan choices. p > Alizé is a three-weight typeface inspired by the chancery italic of the 16th century. It is a high-contrast face, created with syncopations in axes and percentages and subtle irregularities that form a vibrant and delicate weave, suitable for setting a single word, a special expression, or a brief block of prose.

The family does not consist of a roman, and instead promotes the italic as a main design, a common printing convention in the 16th and 17th centuries. The italic lowercase precedes likely capitals by about twenty years, and as a nod to this typographic development, Alizé's capitals, little capitals, and figures are really somewhat inclined to match the energy of the lowercase. The low x-height and long ascenders and descenders, features associated with finesse and high-end, are similar to the Venetian-style italic, but are further stressed. Unlike the Venetian italic, however, Alizé has a sharp slope, giving a prominent sweep throughout the page (alizé is the name of trade wind).

Each font style of Alizé has a character set count of surpassing 700, and includes an abundance of ligatures, vibrant fractions, accessories, and pan-European language assistance. They have also been manually hinted for the highest-quality screen on both print and screen.
