displayArt Nouveau
A reverse-contrast display face drawn from an Italian pharmacy advertisement of around 1900, with smooth curves and an Art Nouveau sensibility.
About
Allora takes its cues from Italian hand lettering of the early twentieth century, inverting the conventional relationship between thick and thin strokes for a bold, decorative character. The design balances playfulness with restraint, keeping its forms legible despite the unconventional contrast. It suits display use where a single strong weight is sufficient.
Classification
