Background
Olidia is a script with tall sweeping ascenders packed with alternates and ligatures. Olidia professional includes over 40 alternate characters and 20 ligatures. This allows designers to mix and match characters to create luxurious and graceful custom logotypes and headlines in OpenType capable applications such as Adobe’s CS suite or QuarkXpress. These alternates are also available in limited preset fonts that are available separately.
Olidia’s Alternate One is highly ornamental, with plenty of sweeping ascenders and descenders, while Olidia Alternate Two is much more restrained and can be used for body copy. The Third strikes a balance between the two sets. Olidia Pro OpenType features include ending swashes, ornaments, ligatures, discretionary ligatures, titling alternates, contextual alternates, style sets and stylistic alternates.
