S. STONE IS A TEXT SERIF TYPEFACE INSPIRED BY THE TENACIOUS FEMME FATALE SUZANNE STONE, THE PROTAGONIST OF JOYCE MAYNARD’S 1992 NOVEL TO DIE FOR. THE CHARACTER WAS LATER ADAPTED FOR BUCK HENRY’S SCREENPLAY AND BROUGHT TO LIFE BY NICOLE KIDMAN IN GUS VAN SANT’S 1995 FILM ADAPTATION.

THE TYPEFACE CHANNELS SUZANNE’S RELENTLESS AMBITION, FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATICS, AND UNDERLYING NAÏVETÉ. SHARP, EXAGGERATED SERIFS AND ROUNDED BALL TERMINALS GIVE THE LETTERFORMS A THEATRICAL QUALITY, BALANCING SUZANNE’S CALCULATED AMBITION WITH A PLAYFUL SOFTNESS.
