Essay Text was created by Ellmer Stefan and released by TypeTogether. Essay Text contains 2 styles and household plan options. p > Essay is a sophisticated serif typeface intended for setting books, with numerous stylistic alternates and other typographic goodies, developed by Stefan Ellmer.

It is a highly clear text confront with a natural flow of reading. This is improved by a small slant of the roman, the combination of open and closed apertures and the amalgamation of natural strokes and counters with a static, fully straight baseline.

Essay Text Regular looks back to the spirit of the french Renaissance, when the roman typographic letterforms pertained to full emancipation. Leaving from that historic referral, Essay Text eliminates all nostalgic antiquity and ends up being a modern analysis of the "archetypes" of that period.

Essay Text Italic refers to that more slightly, resulting in a formalised look with fairly upright and open shapes and little cursiveness. As in the Renaissance, prior to the mating of roman and italic, Essay Text Italic works as a different text face and an ideal secondary type.

The name Essay obtains from the literary meaning of the word, effort or trial. For that reason, the typeface Essay can be viewed as an effort to reveal an opinion about reading, the omnipresence of history, the importance of calligraphy and the importance to differ that calligraphic source; as well as an attempt to crystallise lettershapes in balance between convention and the designer's individual idiom.
