About Emily In White Font Family


She did not live to experience her breakthrough as a poet, but today she is considered one of the pioneers of literary modernity – the American lyricist Emily Dickinson (1830–1886). She left behind a life’s work of manuscripts on scraps of paper, note pads and letters – and a last wish, that these were to be burned. Emily’s younger sister Lavinia did not fulfill her wish – and thus preserved the ingenious manuscript-objects for posterity. For Julia Sysmäläinen, designer of the award winning Kafka type family FF Mister K, Dickinson’s manuscripts were an inspiration and a source for creating her new typeface “Emily In White”. Emily In White – named after Emily Dickinson’s preference for white clothes – captures the most filigree letterforms of the poet’s multifaceted writing style. With hundreds of alternates and ligatures and a complex OpenType feature code it manages to revive the lively sequence of single and connected glyphs of a delicate handwriting which has been described as “breezing” and “reminding of bird tracks”. Emily in White is available in three weights designated I, II and III. For each weight, there is an associated Swashes font. See the PDF in the Gallery section for details. Language support Western and Central European, over 1800 glyphs.

About Juliasys

Juliasys Type Studio’s center of gravity is just beside the Kulturbrauerei in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg. It was founded by Julia Sysmäläinen and partners in 2007. What are we doing there? Hard working in type & identity design, always with a pinch of humour. We create fonts, icons and complete visual identities, do custom and retail projects, and work with partners in different countries. Some of our custom design clients are Beiersdorf Hamburg, Bosch Stuttgart, Freshbooks Toronto, Liebherr Germany, Monotype Germany, Mars and Waitrose London, Remes & Packart Helsinki and Harpers Publishers New York. Widely known are our true-to-life script fonts of the handwriting of authors and artists - such as Franz Kafka, Emily Dickinson, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Jean Sibelius.
