With branding and magazine use in mind, Lisbeth deals with the distinct obstacles of text and screen in a characterful way. The curves of the text weights reveal a soft angularity, stressing the handwritten quality and the subtle twist inside the letters. The stroke's carefully well balanced contrast is more noticable in the lively heavier weights but almost missing in the stylish structure of the thin weight. The angle of the letters is nearly upright and the x-height is relatively large, so longer texts can be read conveniently and without effort. Lisbeth is slightly condensed therefore uses a smaller area to efficiently impart much details. So if a type style can be considered the clothes letters wear, then Lisbeth is an energetic, freely flowing stroke covered around practical and effective letter proportions.
Another highlight of the household is the wacky high-contrast display style, quickly capturing every eye. The design concept of the twisted stroke reveals at the extreme here and makes the letters dance a little on the page. Despite the fact that the shapes act wildly, every letter is thoroughly stabilized in itself so that the balanced repeating of the lettershapes results in an even and harmonic overall picture.
Lisbeth's 5 text weights (from thin to strong) carry out excellently in text settings, and its funky screen style amps up the internal shimmer within each glyph. It supports numerous languages (Latin-A extended) and comes with ligatures and contextual alternates to produce beautiful typography. The character set includes proportional lining and oldstyle figures, tabular figures, subscripts, superscripts, and fractions. The complete Lisbeth household, in addition to our entire brochure, has actually been optimised for today's different screen usages.
