Elizabeth
Only a small handful of women were credited with the design of a metal typeface. Here’s a favorite. Bauer’s Elizabeth by Elizabeth Friedlander brings a clear note of fresh modernity to both body copy and display. Yet Elizabeth charms rather than astounds (just like us). It soothes, rather than surprises (like a nice cup of chai). Anyway, a nice showing of a nice face.
