ITC Elan™

ITC lan combines a gothic simplicity with elegance in a distinctive yet subtle typeface design. There is also a feeling of architectural strength which is derived primarily from an optically even line-weight and a sense of vertical stress. The small, almost Latin, serifs add distinction at both display and text sizes. The large x-height, minimum stroke variance, and open counters are ideal design traits for typeface legibility. Additional characteristics which distinguish ITC lan are the splayed "M" and bowls which do not quite close in the "a," "b" and several other letters. In contrast to the roman, there is almost a calligraphic playfulness to the italic. ITC lan is the second ITC typeface from Albert Boton of France, who also designed ITC Eras. ITC lan comes in four weights, book, medium, bold, and black, each with a corresponding italic.
