Schmale Magere Egyptienne ︎︎︎
SPECIMEN SHEET (1912)
Alizeh is an in-process revival of Schmale Magere Egyptienne from J.G. Schelter and Giescke Foundry (est. 1819) designed with the instruction of Ben Kiel.
With the original typeface’s elegant contrast and weight in mind, Alizeh’s design balances consistency of it’s slab endings and a delicate playfulness of curved forms, creating a lovely texture for secondary copy. It’s condensed width and distinct impression make it optimal for small-scale flyer and poster formats.
The in-progress glyph set will be expanded to include punctuation and an extended character set.
