Etna
Etna (2020) was inspired by the Aetna wood type style of the late nineteenth century. Etna tames this quirky Victorian design into a complete family suitable for modern use, adding a full range of six weights and italics, allowing it to work equally well for both text and display. Etna includes three different condensed widths in all six weights (intended for display use), four different figure styles, alternate characters, true small caps, and a selection of dingbats, including arrows, stars, asterisks, and manicules (pointing hands).
Features
- Six weights: Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, Extrabold, and Black.
- Four widths: Normal, Condensed, X Condensed, and XX Condensed.
- Matching italics for the Normal width.
- 30 styles in all.
- Matching small caps for all weights and styles.*
- Lining and old style figures (both proportional and tabular).*
- Full “f” ligature set.*
- Dingbats: Manicules (pointing hands), stars, asterisks, arrows, circles, squares, diamonds.
