Hi!
Happy May Day from an island off the coast of America.
There’s a lot happening, so we’ll get right to it...

Odile by Sibylle Hagmann is released!
This extraordinary new serif type family is Sibylle Hagmann’s first release on her own foundry. (You may be familiar with her Cholla family, published by Emigre.) The type is inspired by a W.A.Dwiggins design from the 1930s, but the design is completely contemporary. The family consists of two weights in roman and italic, along with two sets of initial capitals, the unique Upright Italic, and a set of beautiful Ornaments. (Even before its release, Odile was one the 18 winners of the Swiss Federal Design Competition for 2005.)
Use the mudTyper to try the fonts out, and be sure to view the extended glyph tables for the types.
Odile is shipped in OpenType and legacy PST1 formats; the OpenType fonts support dozens of languages, and include small caps (in the lighter weight), 6 numeral sets, and a collection of standard and discretionary ligatures.
