GS Centcelles specimen from GS-Type

A two-style display face rooted in Capitalis Rustica calligraphy, with inverted strokes and soft terminals that recall the sensual lettering of 1960s psychedelic poster art.

About

GS Centcelles emerged from calligraphic exploration of Capitalis Rustica, an ancient Roman script, but its inverted stroke construction and soft terminals push it far from strict historical revival territory. The result evokes the hand-lettered warmth of psychedelic poster typography from the 1960s. With broad Latin Extended language support across two styles, it is suited to editorial and display contexts requiring a distinctive, historically inflected character.

Classification

A display face derived from calligraphic experimentation with Capitalis Rustica, featuring inverted strokes and soft terminals that place it firmly in the decorative/display category rather than any conventional serif or sans classification.
