A versatile and authoritative slab serif with no shortage of personality.
Adelle is a Cyrillic slab serif expansion of the typeface conceived by Veronika Burian and José Scaglione specifically for intensive editorial use, mainly online, in newspapers, and magazines. Its personality and flexibility make it a true multipurpose typeface and its superior screen rendering and cross-platform consistency has made it one of our most popular webfonts.
Adelle Cyrillic’s intermediate weights deliver a neutral look when used in text sizes, providing the usual robustness expected in a newspaper font. The unobtrusive appearance, excellent texture, and slightly dark colour allow it to behave flawlessly in continuous text, even in the most unforgiving editorial applications.
As it becomes larger in print, Adelle Cyrillic shows its personality through a series of measured particularities which make it easy to remember and identify. Its energetic character, so inherent to slab serif fonts, becomes evident when used for subheadings and headlines. To ensure typographic adherence to current trends in each script, Russian designer Alexandra Korolkova consulted on the Cyrillic script.
The complete Adelle family has been optimised for today’s varied screen uses. Be sure to check out the companion to Adelle — Adelle Sans, with 12 scripts — to complete the look of your design with the intended personality and flexibility.
