While Adelle is a slab serif typeface conceived specifically for intensive editorial use, mainly in newspapers and magazines, its personality and flexibility make it a real multiple-purpose typeface. The intermediate weights deliver a very legible and neutral look when used in text sizes, providing the usual robustness expected in a newspaper font. The unobstrusive appearance, excellent texture and slightly dark color allow it to behave flawlesly in continuous text setting, even in the most demanding editorial applications.As it becomes larger in print, Adelle shows its personality through a series of meassured particularities that make it easy to remember and identify. It has 12 styles, ranging from light to heavy, with more than 900 characters per font. Its energetic character, so inherent to slab serif fonts, becomes evident as the typeface is used for subheadings and headlines. The OpenType Pro package of Adelle includes nearly 900 characters per weight, including small caps, fractions, old style and lining numbers, scientific superior/inferior figures, complete ordinal and inferior alphabet, and a set of symbols and arrows. It supports over 40 languages that use the Latin extended alphabet.

In 2000 she joined the team of the Japanese designer Makio Hasuike in Milan, Italy. Here Veronika’s interests shifted increasingly from product to graphic design and typography. The decision to focus more exclusively on type design developed naturally, reinforced by her collaboration with Leftloft, a graphic design studio, and her involvement in teaching at the Politecnico of Milan. In 2003 she completed her MA in Typeface Design with distinction at the University of Reading and is amongst other things currently working as type designer at Dalton Maag in London, UK.
