Elgethy Est Upper Police

Elgethy Est Upper by Graham Meade is a free geometric sans serif with hairline strokes, open construction, and an airy, deliberately understated appearance. Its rounded forms are soft and spare.

Modernist editorial design is its clearest territory, especially fashion magazines that benefit from lettering with very little visual weight. Its precise outlines also suit cosmetics packaging and gallery identities, where the slim strokes can echo simple line drawings and restrained product photography. Invitations and event posters gain a refined, contemporary note from the broad curves and long horizontal strokes, which make the lettering look almost custom drawn rather than typeset.
