A two-weight experimental display typeface by Miles Newlyn, released through Emigre in 1991 at the height of the foundry's influence on digital type culture.
About
Designed by Miles Newlyn during a period of radical typographic experimentation, Democratica reflects the rule-breaking spirit that defined Emigre's early catalogue. The family comprises just two weights, Regular and Bold, available individually or as a package. Its unconventional letterforms place it firmly in the tradition of postmodern digital type design.
Classification
An eccentric display typeface from the early 1990s Emigre era, characterised by unconventional letterform construction and an experimental approach typical of that period's digital type experimentation.
