Soprani specimen from Insignedesign

A condensed display serif drawn from a 1920s New Zealand plaque, characterised by dramatically flared terminals that narrow at the midpoint of each stem to create a shimmering optical effect.

About

The letterforms take their cue from Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts lettering traditions, updated for contemporary use across a range from delicate thin weights to a heavy black. Alternate glyphs and a full suite of OpenType features extend its versatility. Suggested applications include table books, menus, editorial work, and motion picture titles.
