Sveva specimen from Astype Fonts

An Art Nouveau headline family, famous from a hundred fantasy and YA book covers, redrawn in 2022 across six weights.

About

Sveva Versal from 2003 became a favourite for children's, fantasy and romantasy covers, including Holly Black's The Cruel Prince. For its twentieth year Andreas Seidel redrew the alphabet with more consistent construction in six weights, then added a Stencil. Alternates and stylistic sets carry the swashy letter pairs.

Classification

Headline face on a DeVinne skeleton with serifs swapped for flowing curves and a sharply tilted O. Six new weights plus the original Versal and a Stencil; display only.
