Sticker holographique « Adelphité » - Luce's Ko-fi Shop « Adelphité » : néologisme issu du grec. Notre adelphe est à la fois notre frère et notre sœur. L'adelphité, ça n'est ni la fraternité ni la sororité,...

J'ai eu envie de mélanger de la fraktur avec de l'arc-en-ciel ! 🌈
Ça fonctionne bien non ? 😇

Screenshot of page for Eskapade, a strikingly original typeface that spans serif to blackletter styles.

"Creating new common ground between a nimble oldstyle serif font and an experimental Fraktur.

The Eskapade font family is the result of Alisa Nowak’s research into Roman and German blackletter forms, mainly Fraktur letters. The idea was to adapt these broken forms into a contemporary family instead of creating a faithful revival of an historical typeface.  ...

Eskapade roman adopts a humanist structure, but is more condensed than other oldstyle serifs. The reason behind this stems from the goal of closely resembling the Fraktur style to create harmony in mixed text settings. Legibility is enhanced by its low contrast between thick and thin strokes and its tall x-height. Eskapade offers 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 forms. This structure also provided the base for Eskapade Fraktur Italic.

Eskapade Fraktur is more contrasted and slightly bolder than the usual darkness of a regular weight. The innovative Eskapade Fraktur Italic, equally based on the Cancellaresca script previously mentioned, is secondarily influenced by the Sütterlin forms — an unique script practiced in Germany in the vanishingly short period between 1915 and 1941. The new ornaments are also hybrid Sütterlin forms to fit with the smooth roman styles.

Although there are many Fraktur-style typefaces available today, they usually lack italics, and their italics are usually slanted uprights rather than proper italics. This motivated extensive experimentation with the italic Fraktur shapes and resulted in Eskapade Fraktur’s unusual and interesting solutions. In addition to standard capitals, it offers a second set of more decorative capitals with double-stroke lines to intensify creative application and encourage experimental use."

Back in January, I picked up Toni Morrison's Sula — which very much started with this quote — and I instantly thought of him. All I will say is happy birthday, my friend!🎊🖋

A painted panel of plywood, now aged and faded. The words "The Hill" have been cut out of the board. The counter of the "e" and space between the two "l"s are missing. Another piece of (untreated) wood can be seen through the apertures, and weeds are growing in the gap. The wording is in blackletter type and the letterforms were extracted with the aid of drilled "pilot holes" for a jigsaw blade. Presumably, the removed letters were used elsewhere, and somebody realised that the panel was still readable and could be used as a sign in itself. The Hill, Happisburgh, Norfolk, UK.
