Adorno Noveau
W Type Foundry · Salvador Rodriguez Diego Aravena
An experimental display face that splices a humanist sans skeleton with Uncial, Gaelic and Copperplate influences, available as a free personal-use download.
About
Adorno Noveau draws on glyphic typefaces as a starting point before steering towards Uncial and Gaelic letterforms, layering in Copperplate details over a humanist sans-serif structure. The family ships in two styles: a standard Regular and a Borders variant, both in a single weight. Available under a personal-use licence covering one desktop and limited social media reach.
Classification
Adorno Noveau blends a humanist sans skeleton with glyphic, Uncial and Gaelic letterform references and Copperplate details, placing it firmly in the experimental display category rather than any conventional text classification.
