The upright styles are complimented by a pairing of optically adjusted true italics, which were purposefully adapted to retain the sharpness of their counterparts. Stylistically, Vanitas’ alluring, sophisticated sensibility is directly inspired by high fashion. Strict attention was given to the cohesiveness and balance between letterforms as well as the careful refinement of all curves. It is rooted in the style of a classic didone, excluding the typical serifs and ball terminals as well as being designed with a cleaner, more reductionist appearance. Vanitas is an elegant high contrast contemporary sans.
