Background
Adriane Text was designed between 2006 and 2007. With objectives focusing on text composition and unique typographic characteristics, it can be classified as a transitional typeface. Details within the characters provide both personality and excellent legibility at small sizes. The typeface has medium contrast, a predominately vertical axis, and an x-height to maximize legibility.
Adriane Text comes in Roman and Bold weights with corresponding italics. Small caps, tabular figures, proportional figures in old style and lining, an extensive set of ligatures, ornaments, various dingbats, and several alternate ampersands are provided in each weight.
The Italic possesses a fluidity that contrasts with the more severe nature of the Roman weight. The degree of the inclination of the uppercase and lowercase characters are slightly different, offering more visual rhythm in text settings.
