Based on a simplification of design rules derived from nature, the organic form and delicate yet forceful line of Art Nouveau are wonderfully evident in this outstanding collection of typefaces. Dan X. Solo, noted typographer and printing historian, presents an impressive as well as practical selection of Art Nouveau type, representative of the elegantly ornamental design style that has remained popular through the years. Eight exquisite typefaces make up this collection: Artistik, Bocklin, Baldur, Auriol, Carmen, Franconia, Siegfried, and Edda Bold. Each royalty-free style is conveniently shown in 24-, 36-, and 48-point sizes and is clearly printed on one side only on repro-quality stock so you can cut and combine letters directly from this book. And each font is complete with uppercase characters, numerals, and punctuation; most include lowercase characters, too. Perfect for adding the flavor of Art Nouveau to any creative project, these classic turn-of-the-century typefaces also work well with contemporary design concepts. Use them to add a touch of romantic nostalgia and fantasy to letterheads and greeting cards, point-of-purchase and packaging, display advertising and direct-mail pieces — any personal or commercial design projects that will come alive with the special sparkle of Art Nouveau.
