Annlie FONT Download
Designer: Fred Lambert
Publisher: Linotype
Annlie™ Extra Bold and
Annlie Extra Bold Italic are two display faces designed by Fred Lambert in 1966 for the
Annlie type family. These two samples from the
Annlie family are both fat faces. Fat faces were offshoots of the modern, or Didone, typefaces that were de rigueur during the early 1800s. These fat faces were among the first typefaces to be used solely for advertising purposes. Naturally, they were always used in larger point sizes, in display functions.
Annlie could be called an optimization of these old advertising typefaces. With high x-heights, ultra contrast between thick and thin strokes, and perfectly engineered drawing techniques,
Annlie is a highly crafted typeface. Give it a spin in your next advertising campaign!
Annlie’s fine thin strokes are very graceful in their appearance, and lend a strong, yet soft, feminine feeling to anything they touch.
