About

Drawing on the decorative vocabulary of the Central European Art Nouveau movement, Sisteron is a single-weight display typeface with a richly stocked character set. The 543 glyphs include numerous alternates and foreign characters covering dozens of languages, giving it more practical range than most ornamental revival faces. Best suited to titles, packaging or editorial contexts where a period Art Nouveau aesthetic is called for.

Classification

Explicitly described as Jugendstil in style, placing it within the Central European branch of the Art Nouveau movement. Decorative, period-referencing letterforms suited to display use only.
