Celebrity

A high-contrast display face with sharp and rounded variants, reviving and correcting Willy Wirtz's 1971 Latus concept.
About
Celebrity updates Willy Wirtz's 1971 film type design Latus, correcting irregularities and expanding the character set for digital use. The design pairs extreme thick strokes with hairline thins, giving it a quality that mixes modernist, techno and retro-deco sensibilities. Both variants, the sharp-cornered Celebrity and the softer Celebrity Tube, include a Pan-European character set of over 670 glyphs.
Classification
Extreme thick-thin contrast with geometric construction; available in a sharp-cornered version and a rounded 'Tube' variant. Rooted in a 1971 film type concept by Willy Wirtz.
