A tall monospaced display typeface by Guillaume Beinat Prunet, drawing on Art Deco poster and architectural lettering from 1920s Paris and New York.
About
Designed at ECV Bordeaux and released in two weights, the family channels geometric movements including Bauhaus, De Stijl and the Viennese Secession through its narrow, simplified forms and condensed bold. Beyond standard characters, it offers a system of decorative signs and overlapping glyphs intended to build structured ornamental compositions for headlines and editorial layouts. The 610-glyph count per style reflects broad Latin language coverage across European and African scripts.
Classification
A tall, monospaced display face drawing on Art Deco geometric traditions from the 1920s and 1930s; its architectural proportions, ornamental glyph system and condensed verticality place it firmly in the display category rather than functional sans-serif.
