Willing Race, designed by Harold Lohner of Number Seventeen, is a free high-contrast serif with a distinctly theatrical elegance. Broad, swelling strokes taper into very fine lines, and the sharp serifs keep the forms crisp. The proportions feel tall and poised.
Fashion and period drama are natural subjects for its formal, slightly eccentric drawing. It can lend editorial covers and beauty packaging a refined voice, with enough individuality for event posters. Its strongest role is fashion publishing, where the dramatic strokes can echo the contrast of glossy photography.
