About
Drawing from Benton's Canterbury of the 1920s, Canturiana modernises the Art Deco heritage into a digital typeface suited to titles and short-text compositions. Its sinuous construction yields high contrast and a sensual character, supported by an extensive glyph set including swashes, ligatures and alternate characters. The family covers a wide range of Latin-script languages and is positioned for use across print and digital media where distinction is required.
