Background

Christiana is a sans serif face designed by Gudrun Zapf von Hesse for the Berthold foundry. Christiana is an attractive face with a marked thick to thin contrast and an old style stress in some shapes. Vertical stems are slightly splayed and cut at an angle. The Christiana font family is ideal for display setting where a touch of elegance is required.
