Nouveau specimen from Poem

A display typeface drawing on Art Nouveau's organic, ornamental aesthetic, released by the boutique French foundry Poem.

About

Nouveau takes its cues from the sinuous, plant-inspired lettering of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is suited to editorial, cultural and luxury applications where period character is desirable. The foundry's restrained approach keeps the design from tipping into pastiche.

Classification

The name directly references the Art Nouveau movement, suggesting decorative, ornamental letterforms with organic curves and period-inspired detailing characteristic of that style.
