GS Merca specimen from GS-Type

A single-style experimental stencil typeface redrawn from the Art Nouveau lettering on the facade of Tarragona's historic market building.

About

Rather than a straight revival, GS Merca reinterprets the original market facade lettering with a stencil-like quality and a deliberately rebellious edge. A newly designed lowercase extends the vocabulary of the uppercase source material, giving the typeface enough range to work across vernacular and contemporary contexts. Wide Latin language support makes it practically useful despite its narrow stylistic focus.

Classification

An experimental organic stencil typeface with a single display style, drawn from Art Nouveau architectural lettering. The stencil quality and vernacular source material place it firmly in the display category.
