Tautier—A Display Typeface

Tautier is designed as a display title font for HERBE Jewelry—a designer brand specializing in fashion jewelry based in Shanghai, China. It is meant to carry a sleek and delicate feel by taking cue from the specimen of Enge Mediaeval-Antigua, a condensed typeface published in 1900 from the Bauer Type Foundry. Based on its existing basic alphabets from the old type specimen, Tautier is redrawn to appear more classical and friendly to fit with HERBE’s branding style, as you may notice in the rounded corners around the beaks, as well as the lachrymal terminals in the lowercase design.
