Elza is a typeface who responds to the intention of creating a type family without any personal traits or distinguishable features. The font offers oblique versions instead of true italics, and its widths are significantly more condensed than the respective Roman versions, so they stand out better when used together. It is the largest family in Blackletra’s library to date, with 8 weights, 3 widths and 2 optical sizes for a total of 58 fonts. Each font has approximately 900 glyphs and offers broad language support and OpenType features like small caps, tabular and old style figures, and an alternate character to lowercase /a (one-storey). It is Blackletra’s first typeface to offer a variable version with weight, width and slant axes.
Blackletra is a digital type foundry run by Brazilian type designer Daniel Sabino, currently based in São Paulo. Established in 2012, the foundry develops custom and retail typefaces as well as lettering and logotypes. The company’s typefaces combines historical interest with calligraphic influences and sometimes unusual ideas.
