Fonseca specimen from Nasir Udin Studio

An all-caps geometric sans with art deco roots, available in eight weights with obliques, designed for display use with a modernised retro aesthetic.

About

Drawing on early 20th-century poster typography and art deco conventions, Fonseca uses simple, straight geometric forms to produce a family suited to editorial display and branding contexts. Sixteen styles across eight weights with obliques give it reasonable range for a single-family display typeface. The all-caps construction and period references make it particularly suited to travel, culture and heritage-adjacent work.

Classification

An all-caps geometric sans with art deco influences, drawing on early 20th-century poster typography. The straight, simplified letterforms and uniform stroke width place it firmly in the geometric display category.
