AS Chateau specimen from Astrae Studio

A display face after S.H. de Roos's 1938 Libra, with rounded uncial letterforms that reach back a thousand years.

About

AS Chateau reworks Libra, Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos's 1938 typeface, which mixed upper and lowercase forms in the manner of early medieval uncial scripts. The result reads historic and warm without tipping into blackletter. It suits food, drink and hospitality brands, book covers and posters.

Classification

An uncial-influenced display face after Libra, S.H. de Roos's 1938 design, which itself drew on pre-Carolingian uncials. Rounded, single-case letterforms with a medieval cast.
