Such has actually been the success of the Eplica series that Letraset have actually now included Medium and Strong Italic weights to the family.

This disappears obvious than within its bilateral serif building, in which one side reflects Old Face design and the other Modern Face style. The total look, in which the letters have a strong vertical tension and pronounced contrast between lineweights, serves to stimulate a tidy cut design that is absolutely 21st century.
