FF Angie is a humanistic typeface with small asymmetrical lead-in strokes and flared serifs. FF Angie is based on a garalde structure, with a slight oblique axis. Note the thickness between the top part of the a and the base part of the e and c. FF Angie covers five weights, each with a true italic companion. Its italics are drawn lighter and narrower, and while still robust throughout, decidedly more fluid than the upright styles. The styles include ornaments, as well a display version called FF Angie Open, whose heavy capital letters feature inline cuts.
