STORY

The initial design of the Etien font was inspired by massive wooden book printing letters. While researching the font's origin, I came across digitalizations that were not entirely successful or faithful to my reference. Through smart tools in software, a sans-serif variation with standing proportions and values alongside the serif version emerged as a typographic system. It is ideal for pairing and providing context to titles, whether in terms of decoration or cleanliness. Proportionally, the font was so useful that it called for thinner cuts, especially in the sans-serif variation. The narrowest regular instance has visually extended descenders, which enhance the construction, stability, and add subtle decoration to the font.

The name of the font comes from the research where I found variety of font close to mine one under names Etienne or Estienne.

The typeface is suitable for a wide range of uses, which is enhanced by the different classification of the typeface family. It is suitable for decorative typesetting of captions, headlines, advertisements, genre categorization (serif), as well as for everyday needs of economical and impactful typesetting that can serve in all sizes (sans).
