Ulian
Ulian is a crisp, uniquely individual display face from Typodermic—a fresh departure in an entirely different direction. Ulian combines the distinctive straight sides of blackletter with features of more current types; the curves, serifs and thick/thin treatment of Romans, and the wide flattened curves of squared geometric types (popular in the late 1960s through the 1970s and now in revival).
Ulian’s squared glyphs make efficient use of space, resulting in a condensed font without the typically “compressed” look. The vertical stems are more or less uniform in weight, leaving the horizontally-aligned curves to emphasize stress. The italics feature a cursive treatment on diagonals, yet the straight stems of the normal font are retained.
Ulian has 4 styles; Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. Each style has upper and lower case, numerals, punctuation and accents. This font is available in OpenType, Windows TrueType and Mac PostScript. The OpenType version includes class-based kerning and old-style numerals.
Ulian is well suited to advertising where a little uniqueness is needed to launch something memorable and special. It works well for signage, packaging and product identity.
