Eterne Text’s refined clarity of construction imparts impeccable readability to an unconventional model. This polished pop recontextualizes the joie de vivre that makes its display sibling so striking. Taking cues from the Marionette Formula proposed by W. A. Dwiggins, unexpected cuts and curves of the letterforms possess a lively tension and draw attention to the push-and-pull of space and counter-space. Shallow-shouldered arches, low contrast, and evenly proportioned terminals recall Miller & Richard’s Old Style Antique No. 7, translating the drama and gesture of the Eterne family into a system that is eminently scalable.
