Eclipsa
W Type Foundry · Joaquín Contreras Soto, Diego Aravena Silo
A display typeface drawn from the type of an old workers' newspaper, with rounded corners and partially closed counters that give it a tactile, softened quality.
About
Eclipsa takes its formal cues from Art Deco, referencing the movement's poster and architectural lettering traditions. The rounded corners and filled-in internal spaces of certain letters lend a physical, almost stamped character that distinguishes it from more clinical revivals of the period. It covers Latin and Cyrillic scripts across 229 languages in a single Regular style of 323 glyphs.
Classification
Inspired by type used in an old workers' newspaper and formally associated with Art Deco, it features rounded corners and partially filled counters, placing it firmly in the display category with an art deco subcategory.
