Salome Pro specimen from Canada Type

A cleaned-up and greatly expanded revival of Cantini, a 1972 film face that blends early 20th century art nouveau styling with 1960s and 1970s signage lettering.

About

The original Cantini was released by Letter Graphics in 1972 and suffered from inconsistencies in angles, stroke widths and vertical metrics. Salome Pro corrects all of these issues, redraws the full character set from scratch and adds more alternates, ligatures and extended Latin language support beyond the source material. The result sits at the intersection of art nouveau ornament and mid-century poster lettering.
