displayArt Nouveau revival
Jugend specimen from Skrr Type

A 2021 display typeface from Skrr Type drawing on the Jugendstil lettering tradition of 1896-era German Art Nouveau.

About

Jugend references the visual language of late 19th-century German Art Nouveau, the movement that gave its name to the influential magazine founded in 1896. The watercolour aesthetic suggested in the page's framing hints at organic, painterly qualities befitting the period. Released in 2021, it is a contemporary interpretation of that ornamental typographic heritage.

Classification

Display typeface drawing from the ornamental, organic lettering of late 19th-century Jugendstil aesthetics, consistent with the watercolour and 1896 date references suggesting a period revival of Germanic Art Nouveau typography.
