A Belle Époque humanist serif in two styles: crisp, high-contrast Haut-Monde and soft, low-contrast Demimond. When you design a lot of display pieces, you’re often in need of tall, slim type.
Liaisons provides that, in a distinct fin-de-siècle style inspired by the great posters of the Gilded Age from Sweden, Denmark, France, and Scotland. (The ampersand alone is a bit of a love letter to Charles Rennie Mackintosh!).
Both styles use the same slim skeleton, and are named after the stratum of society where one might find… a “dancing partner.”
HAUT-MONDE is a high contrast face of the sort that says “High Society.” Elegant and sleek, it speaks to the refinement of the moneyed classes of a bygone era. Great for high-end products, too!
DEMIMONDE is soft and low-contrast — more reminiscent of hand-lettering on Art Nouveau/Jugendstil/Wiener Werkstätte advertisements and posters. A comfortably chic display face all around!
Both typefaces feature full Western and Eastern Latin character sets, as well as full Cyrillic/Slavic ones.
And, perhaps best of all, both typefaces feature capitals with high, middle, and low waists, so you can change up the look as you see fit!
