Thesaurus type family, inspired by the work of Robert and Henri II Estienne in Geneva, was published exactly a year ago by Typotheque. Now the Display Italic style has joined the family, making Thesaurus sharper and even more dignified.
Taking into consideration the feedback I've got from Thesaurus' first users, the creation of the Display Italic styles requested me to rethink many of the original terminations and remove optical compensations designed to enhance small sizes. "The result is a confident yet elegant typeface that can be used on its own to set short texts, or in combination with other styles of Thesaurus to create complex hierarchies".
Thesaurus has received the Gold award (first prize) at the European Design Awards 2018 and the Gold Award & Best Project of Category at the LAD - Latin American Design Awards 2019.
Furthermore, it was one of the 4 projects awarded with the Mention of Excellence at the 8th Latin-American type-design biennial by Tipos Latinos (TL8) – out of 444 projects submitted this year. It was selected in the Superfamily category.
It has also been awarded with Gold in the Graphis Type 4: Typeface Design Competition.
