About
Rooted in hand-lettered Art Deco sign-painting traditions, Metro 39 comes in four fonts: Regular, Regular Alternates, Inline and Inline Alternates. The inline variant evokes the 1970s Art Deco revival, giving designers a period-appropriate option for either era. The alternates fonts expand the glyph set to allow varied compositions with a single typeface purchase.
Classification
An Art Deco display face with inline and solid variants, drawing on sign-painting lettering traditions and the 1970s Art Deco revival. The inline treatment and stylised capitals are characteristic of decorative display typography rather than any text-setting category.
