Rumori S Typefaces
Muirmcneil · MuirMcNeil
A bold stencil display face speculatively reconstructed from the wood type used on the cover of Luigi Russolo's 1913 Futurist noise manifesto.
About
Derived from the ten surviving titling characters on the cover of Russolo's 'L'Arte dei rumori', the design fills in the missing glyphs by drawing on grotesque and gothic display typefaces of the period rather than reviving a single historical source. The stencil variant applies that same speculative method without a direct historical model, conforming closely to the original Rumori contours while drawing on early modernist alphabets built from minimal, redistributable components. The result sits between historical reconstruction and original design, shaped by Futurist sensibility and early-twentieth-century geometric thinking.
Classification
A bold stencil display face derived from early twentieth-century grotesque and gothic display wood type, referencing Futurist design sensibilities and modernist modular alphabet experiments.
