She did not live to experience her breakthrough as a poet, however today she is considered one of the leaders of literary modernity-- the American lyricist Emily Dickinson (1830-- 1886). She left behind a life's work of manuscripts on scraps of paper, notepad and letters-- and a last desire, that these were to be burned. Emily's younger sibling Lavinia did not satisfy her wish-- and thus maintained the innovative manuscript-objects for posterity.
For Julia Sysmäläinen, designer of the award winning Kafka type household "FF Mister K", Dickinson's manuscripts were a motivation and a source for creating her new typeface "Emily In White".
Emily In White-- named after Emily Dickinson's choice for white clothing-- catches the most filigree letterforms of the poet's diverse writing design. With hundreds of alternates and ligatures and an intricate OpenType feature code it manages to revive the vibrant series of single and linked glyphs of a delicate handwriting which has been explained as "breezing" and "reminding of bird tracks".
.Language support Western and Central European, over 1800 glyphs.
