Arteria Compress specimen from Typofonderie

A compressed display face fusing Italian shopfront lettering with woodtype poster conventions.

About

Arteria Compress takes two related vernacular traditions, hand-spaced capitals on Italian shopfronts and the geometric simplicity of woodtype posters, and runs them through nine weights of tightly fitted capitals. No standard width was ever released; compressed is the only cut.

Classification

Only issued as a compressed cut, no standard-width Arteria exists. The design merges Italian shopfront lettering with woodtype poster conventions.
