final thesis typeface, KABK Type and Media Masters program, 2009

Arietta is Abi Huynh’s first serious text face, it is intended for short subject and non?-iction books, the family consists of a transitional roman with multiple text italics that provide modulating degrees of stylistic contrast from the roman. Arietta Book has a serious, unobtrusive and reserved tone while the three italic companions each produce a distinct character and textural density.
