Elido (Odile in reverse) is the sans counterpart to Odile, a serif type. Together they form a sans and serif superfamily with a wide range of variations for editorial and display use. Elido follows Odile’s proportions and matches the weight distribution and typographic color of its serif twin.
<br/ > Odile’s conceptual approach is echoed in the structure and anatomy of the Elido family. The arched stroke low off the stem reveals a script characteristic most pronounced in the Elido Upright Italic. This particular interpretation is gradually diminished in the Italic and becomes even less emphasized in the Regular style. Six balanced weights, from an elegant Light to a pronounced Black, are in tune with three display solutions and a set of beautiful Ornaments.

Sans serif initials amount to a rare finding. The charming mono-linear Elido Initials come in two flavors, elaborate and rational, designed to hold their own in editorial and headline sizes. This type design boasts an extensive character set and many OpenType features. OT stylistic variants offer a one-storey ‘a’ for the roman weights, alternate ‘g’ and ‘s’ designs for the italics, and a variant glyph ‘s’ for the Upright Italic. Elido is an excellent choice for editorial and display use.

Kontour is a type design venture with focus on creating original typefaces. Founded by Sibylle Hagmann in 2000, the project started out with a broad spectrum of undertakings in the area of graphic, typographic, and type design. Sibylle Hagmann began her career in Switzerland at the Basel School of Design and explored her passion for anything type related in California, while completing her MFA at CalArts. During this time she developed typefaces, most notably the award winning Cholla family, originally commissioned by Art Center College of Design, and released soon after by the type foundry Emigre in 1999. Cholla was among the winning entries of bukva:raz!, the type design competition of the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI) in 2001. The typeface family Odile, first published in 2006, was awarded the Swiss Federal Design Award in the same year. Sibylle Hagmann’s work has been featured in numerous publications and recognized by the Type Directors Club of New York and Japan. Over the years, she presented her work nationally and internationally at typography conferences and educational institutions with occasional workshops.
