Stradivarius: A New Type Face Dedicated to Aspiring Typography

When one works on books about slabs, stencils, shadows, and scripts, one needs a lot of examples around. Like, when Louise Fili was working on Scripts, she picked up this specimen of Imre Reiner’s Stradivarius. We’re big fans of the work of Reiner. It’s amazing to us what he was able to get away with—like this crazy script-adjacent face. Stradivarius is music to our eyes. (Get it?) A neat thing from the collection of Louise Fili.
