Eskapade was created by Alisa Nowak and published by TypeTogether. Eskapade includes 16 designs and household bundle options. p > The Eskapade font style family is the outcome of Alisa Nowak's research study into Roman and German blackletter types, mainly Fraktur letters. The concept was to adjust these broken forms into a contemporary family rather of producing a faithful revival of a historic typeface.

On one hand, the ten normal Eskapade designs are developed for continuous text in books and magazines with good legibility in smaller sized sizes. On the other hand, the 6 angled Eskapade Fraktur designs record the reader's attention in headings with its mixture of round and straight kinds as seen in 'e', 'g', and 'o'. Eskapade works incredibly well for branding, logotypes, and visual identities, for editorials like publications, fanzines, or posters, and for packaging.

Eskapade roman adopts a humanist structure, but is more condensed than other oldstyle serifs. The reason behind this originates from the objective of carefully resembling the Fraktur design to create harmony in combined text settings. Legibility is boosted by its low contrast between thick and thin strokes and its tall x-height. Eskapade uses an airy and light typographic colour with its smooth design. Eskapade italic is based on the Cancellaresca script and shows some particularities in its condensed and round kinds. This structure also offered the base for Eskapade Fraktur italic.

Eskapade Fraktur is more contrasted and slightly bolder than the usual darkness of a routine weight. The ingenious Eskapade Fraktur italic, equally based upon the Cancellaresca script previously pointed out, is secondarily influenced by the Sütterlin kinds - a special script practiced in Germany in the vanishingly brief duration in between 1915 and 1941. The brand-new accessories are likewise hybrid Sütterlin forms to fit with the smooth roman styles.

Although there are numerous Fraktur-style typefaces readily available today, they usually do not have italics, and their italics are typically slanted uprights rather than proper italics. This motivated substantial experimentation with the italic Fraktur shapes and resulted in Eskapade Fraktur's unusual and interesting services. In addition to standard capitals, it offers a 2nd set of more decorative capitals with double-stroke lines to heighten imaginative application and motivate speculative use.

The Thin and Black Fraktur designs are indicated for display screen sizes (headings, posters, branding, and signage). A typeface with this much stress requires to keep a great harmony between strokes and counters, so Eskapade Black has enhanced inktraps and a more dynamic structure seen in the contrast in between straight and round forms. These qualities make the household bolder and more attracting, specifically with the included uppercase alternates. The Fraktur's black weights are strident, refusing to let the white of the paper win the tug-of-war.

It also won't distribute its tricks: Is it modern or historical, edgy or amicable, seductive ornamentation or brutish presentation? That all depends upon how the drastically broadened Eskapade family is used, but its 16 typefaces certainly aren't tame.
