Naga
Canada Type · Hans van Maanen
An original display typeface by Hans van Maanen, weaving Art Deco letterforms through intricate knotwork patterns drawn from Celtic and Mesoamerican decorative traditions.
About
Naga pairs legible Art Deco letter shapes with internal maze-like ornamentation recalling Celtic or Mesoamerican knotwork, giving each character an elaborate but readable quality. A companion outline style is included, emphasising the structural intricacy of the design, and both fonts are noted to work well when combined with photographic or illustrative masks. Extended Latin language coverage and a selection of unicase forms are included in both fonts.
