St Croce
Storm Type Foundry · František Štorm
displayeroded inscriptional display serifitalic
A typeface built on centuries of foot traffic across tombstones in Florence.
About
St Croce is based on worn-out lettering on tombstones in the Santa Croce basilica in Florence, where centuries of visitors have slowly rubbed inscriptions towards illegibility. Text, Fading and Stencil variants capture different stages of that wear, suited to catalogue jackets, invitations and posters.
Classification
Based on worn tombstone lettering rather than a working text design, this belongs with display and effect faces despite its serif letterforms.
