Font info

Estrojeune is an upright script with horizontal contrast suitable for bold visual identities such as those required by music festivals, playful brands, captivating packaging, titles, and headings: anything that needs to be communicated in a loud, saucy, and joyful way.

Estrojeune features a fairly large x-height, narrow proportions, and stylistic variations that are automatically triggered according to each letter’s position within a word, thanks to the appropriate OpenType feature. The typeface also includes numerous alternates that automatically activate to create entry and exit strokes on more distinctive letters such as r, s or z. A set of arrows and several symbols related to astronomy, astrology, sexual orientation, and gender has also been drawn, as well as a set of swash capitals, which can be enabled through the OpenType features panel to create striking drop caps.

Additional info

The name of the typeface hints at Aldo Novarese’s Estro (Nebiolo, 1961) and incorporates the French noun and adjective ‘jeune’ (young), interestingly used for both masculine and feminine forms. Estrojeune playfully teases Estro: it keeps the horizontal contrast but being a script face it flows in a fluid, sinuous rhythm.

‘If Estro was promoted by the Nebiolo Company as “il carattere del sorriso” (the typeface of a smile),’ as designer Valentina Casali points out, ‘Estrojeune could be defined as “the typeface of a smirk”.’

‘As many people know, designing type is rarely a one-woman job,’ concludes Valentina, ‘so I would like to express my gratitude to my colleagues at CAST for their support, especially to Daniele, who helped me bring all my crazy ideas to life in engineering and production. I’m in debt to Demetrio Mancini, one of the recipients of my handwritten addresses, who kept and later scanned the letter I sent him in 2023. I also owe a big thank-you to Troy Leinster for his invaluable eye and advice; to Peter Nowell for technical support and his FontProofer app, which made testing extremely easier and faster; and, finally, to Giulia Sagramola for the wonderful illustrations that bring Estrojeune’s identity to life.’
