A single-weight high-contrast display serif by Anne-Dauphine Borione, drawing on Art Nouveau and Art Deco forms with alternate capitals and dramatic stroke contrast.
About
Designed by Anne-Dauphine Borione and released in 2022, it takes its visual cue from the lightness of hot air balloons, expressed through airy letterforms, pronounced stroke contrast and distinctive rounded characters. The Art Nouveau and Art Deco blend gives it a period-inflected character that sits well in luxury branding, editorial headlines and book covers. Alternate capitals allow selective variation for hierarchy within a composition.
Classification
A single-weight high-contrast display serif with Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences, explicitly named a display face and unsuited to text sizes; its dramatic contrast and decorative serifs place it firmly in the display category.
