Secession Wien specimen from ParaType

A condensed Art Nouveau display face designed at SoftUnion in 1994–95, offered in five styles including an inline variant.

About

Designed by Nikolay Vsesvetsky between 1994 and 1995, the face draws on the rounded, low-contrast letterforms associated with the Viennese Secession movement. Five styles span Light through Bold, with an Inline cut adding a decorative option suited to poster and magazine work. The condensed proportions are consistent across the family.

Classification

The specimen shows rounded, softly geometric letterforms with low stroke contrast and informal terminals, characteristic of Art Nouveau-influenced display type. The condensed proportions and decorative character place it firmly in the display category.
