Workhorse Nouveau Stencil
Workhorse Type Foundry · Adrian Kimball · 2022
A variable stencil typeface by Adrian Kimball that distils Art Nouveau letterform charm into a family with genuine practical range across three optical sizes and eight stylistic sets.
About
Designed in 2022, the family spans eight weights across three optical sizes (Min, Med, Max), yielding 19 static styles alongside a variable font covering both weight and optical size axes. Eight stylistic sets allow the amount of Art Nouveau character to be tuned per application, from subtle references in the G and ampersand to more pronounced angled stroke treatments. With 512 glyphs and coverage of 220-plus languages, it covers far more ground than most decorative releases of its kind.
Classification
A stencil display typeface drawing on Art Nouveau letterform characteristics, with optical sizes and stylistic alternates that allow the decorative influence to be modulated across applications.
