EF Lucida Sans CE Demi Bold Italic

Lucida Sans brings a human look to the sans serif style. As in Lucida Bright, the inner forms are based on writing styles of the Italian Renaissance and have a more relaxed, hand-made rhythm than the rigid shapes of grotesque sans-serifs. The large x-height, clear forms and open spacing of the Lucida Sans font family create a rhythmic, readable text at all sizes throughout a wide range of office and professional documents. In all-capital settings, Lucida Sans capitals make a strong, readable, and harmonious pattern. Lucida Sans Italic is a dynamic and distinctive design that appears formal yet handwritten. It is a true cursive or running style because its inner movement is based on formal chancery handwriting of the Renaissance. It is not merely a slanted version of the roman. Used by itself, Lucida Sans Italic gives a personal, active, but disciplined look to any text. For larger sizes (above 14 point), Lucida Sans can be fine-tuned by subtracting a few units of letterspacing (negative tracking) for a tighter, more active look. Lucida Bright is the ideal serif companion to Lucida Sans.
