Designed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini and Mariachiara Fantini with the help of Solenn Bordeau,[b]Erotique[/b]is an evolution of the original design by Zetafonts for[b]Lovelace[/b], that challenges its romantic curves with the glitchty & fluid aestethic of transmodern neo-brutalist typography. The seductive "evil serif" look of the Pheimester-like Oldstyle letter shapes is made edgier by the quirky connections and unexpected calligraphic twirls that marry digital distortions to traditional penmanship. Sensuous but sharp, Erotique speaks the language of teasing, and unrequited love, over-the-top and restrained like a show of japanese Kinbaku, and beautifully heartbreaking like a friendzone valentine.
Designed for display use, this high-contrast serif typeface is ready to take center stage in projects where a subtle elegance and an edgy, aggressive touch are required. For[b]branding[/b]use it is paired by a[b]Erotique Ornaments[/b], a set of interlocking patternsbasedon the font letter-shapes, allowing for striking packaging, digital and ambient design. For[b]editorial[/b]use it can add a sharp sensuality to logos and titles thanks to an impressive array of alternate glyphs, subtle ligatures and a set of whiplike fleurons, collected in the[b]Erotique[/b][b]Flourishes[/b]pack. The typeface has been developed in the[b]regular[/b],[b]medium[/b]and[b]bold[/b]weight plus a[b]monoline[/b]version, all of which have been paired with an[b]Alternate[/b]version to give immediate access the more exotic alternate letterforms.
With a character set of over five hundred glyphs,all the the weights of Erotique cover almost 200 languages using extended latin, and include advanced Open Type features as Stylistic Alternates, Standard and Discretionary Ligatures, Positional Numerals, Swash and Case Sensitive Forms. If you are a typeface lover, be warned:[b]Erotique[/b]could be your fatal attraction!
