Lydian (typeface)
Lydian is a calligraphic humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Warren Chappell for American Type Founders in 1938. It is available in bold, italic, and condensed, as well as in a Cursive variant. The original foundry font was commissioned and cast by American Type Founders and included a stylistic alternate, a capital ‹A› with a cross bar. It was named after the designer's wife.
The various members of the family were introduced over the course of eight years:
- Lydian Italic
- Lydian Bold Italic
- Lydian Cursive
- Lydian Condensed Italic
