Retorica specimen from Type-ø-tones

An Art Deco display face by Enric Jardí offered in two variants: a solid Plena cut and an outlined Buida cut.

About

Designed by Enric Jardí for Type-ø-tones, Retorica draws on the geometric elegance of 1920s Art Deco lettering, as signalled by specimen text referencing Paris and sculpture of the period. The family splits into two styles: Retorica Plena (full, solid forms) and Retorica Buida (empty, outline forms), giving designers a straightforward pairing for layered or standalone titling work. Well suited to editorial headers, packaging and branding projects that call for period-inflected geometry.

Classification

The typeface name, specimen text referencing Paris 1920 and Art Deco sculptures, and its two variants (Plena and Buida, meaning Full and Empty) suggest a decorative Art Deco display face with inline or outlined variants.
