# Lydian (typeface)

Lydian is a calligraphic humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Warren Chappell for American Type Founders in 1938. It is available in bold, italic, and condensed, as well as in a Cursive variant. The original foundry font was commissioned and cast by American Type Founders and included a stylistic alternate, a capital ‹A› with a cross bar. It was named after the designer's wife.

The various members of the family were introduced over the course of eight years:

* Lydian Italic (1938)
* Lydian Bold Italic (1938)
* Lydian Cursive (1940)
* Lydian Condensed Italic (1946)
