displayArt Deco sans-serif
Melkslijter specimen from PintassilgoPrints

A two-weight Art Deco display sans inspired by a 1935 Dutch brochure, with hand-drawn letter variants, swash forms and ornaments throughout.

About

Based on lettering from a 1935 brochure by Dutch graphic designer and artist Dirk Hart, the typeface carries a period-appropriate stylishness tempered by hand-drawn irregularity. Two weights — Regular and Black — share the same design language but differ enough in colour to serve distinct typographic roles. OpenType features include stylistic alternates, swash initials and terminals, and a set of ornaments.

Classification

A display sans-serif with Art Deco proportions and hand-drawn character, rooted in a 1935 Dutch source. The combination of swash forms, ornaments and stylistic alternates places it firmly in the decorative display category.
