If you need a bracketed slab serif with a nostalgic feel, less contrast, and more quirks than the jaw-dropping Ionic Modern from Commercial Type, Stringer may be the perfect fit. Emily’s first commercial release, designed during the Type West program in 2022, and published by Order, is a revival from Ionics of the early 20th century—more precisely Miller & Richard’s Ionic No. 3 at 12-point—in five up-right weights, from Thin to Bold (fingers crossed italics are upcoming).
