About the family


Glade is a formal copperplate steel-nib script designed as a true width family — elegant, flexible, and built for real-world composition challenges. Originally developed for a client seeking multiple width options within a refined connecting script, the project evolved into a complete system ranging from Extra Narrow through Extra Wide. Whether you are working within tight spatial constraints or designing expansive, statement-driven layouts, Glade offers a tailored solution without sacrificing grace or legibility. To give the design a more contemporary warmth, the lowercase has been subtly scaled up and the capitals slightly reduced, creating a friendlier overall texture while preserving classical copperplate discipline. The character set has been thoughtfully expanded and includes OpenType features for unlimited fractions, ordinals, superiors, and inferiors — making Glade as practical as it is beautiful. Available styles include: Extra Narrow, Narrow, Regular, Wide, and Extra Wide. From formal invitations and certificates to editorial mastheads and luxury branding, Glade delivers polished sophistication across a full range of widths.
