Mostra Nuova
Mostra Nuova (2009) is based on a style of lettering seen on Italian Art Deco posters and advertising of the 1930s. Although it’s very geometric, I made subtle optical adjustments to keep it from looking too severely mechanical. I first released it in 2001 as Mostra, a caps-only design. Mostra Nuova has more weights, better language support, and lowercase letters. It features dozens of alternate characters providing endless stylistic possibilities within the basic design, from fairly plain to quite stylized.
With version 2.0 (2020) I added three new weights—Semibold, Extrabold, and Extraheavy—, support for Cyrillic, and a new narrow alternate capital D.
Features
- Nine weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, Extrabold, Heavy, Extraheavy, and Black.
- Alternate characters, representing commonly-found variations in Italian Art Deco lettering.
- 20 stylistic sets for enhanced access to the many alternate characters.
- Case sensitive forms.
- Extended language support for most Latin-based Western and Central European languages, as well as Cyrillic.
