A display typeface drawn from hand-lettered typography in a French Revolutionary-era manuscript celebrating the Cult of the Supreme Being, with irregular, expressive letterforms and a full diacritic set.
About
The source material is a printed declaration from the French Revolution, notable for its baroque layout and lively hand-drawn lettering. Sociato translates those idiosyncratic forms into a usable typeface, extended with a full character set including diacritics and old-style figures. It is intended for titles and headers rather than body text.
Classification
Based directly on hand-drawn lettering from a French Revolutionary-era manuscript, Sociato is a display typeface with baroque, expressive qualities and quirky, irregular letterforms that preclude classification as a conventional text style.
