Elido was designed by Sibylle Hagmann and published by Kontour Type. Elido contains 16 styles and family package options.  

Elido (Odile in reverse) is the sans counterpart to the Odile type. Together they form a sans/serif superfamily with a wide range of variations for editorial use. Elido follows Odile's proportions and matches the weight and typographic color of its serif twin.

Elido is a sans with classical proportions. A slight geometric hint and open counters convey an airy feel. Elido's family structure and relations within echo the conceptual approach of Odile. The arched stroke low off the stem reveals a script characteristic most pronounced in the Elido Upright Italic. This particular interpretation is gradually diminished in the Italic and becomes even less emphasized in the Regular.

Six balanced weights, from an elegant Light to a pronounced Black, are in tune with three display solutions and a set of beautiful Ornaments. These variants allow for a diverse and multifaceted typography for the discerning type user. Sans serif initials amount to a rare finding. The charming monolinear Elido Initials come in two flavors, elaborate and rational, designed to hold their own in editorial and headline sizes.

This type design boasts an extensive character set, many OpenType features including roman and italic Small Caps, five sets of numerals, beautiful ligatures, and many more. OT stylistic variants (with accents) offer a one-story "a" for the roman weights, alternate "g" and "s" designs for the italics, and a variant glyph "s" for the Upright Italic. These distinct qualities with its versatile and sincere traits make Elido an excellent choice for text and display use.
