Follow meThis is the revised and improved version of Novecento, a new uppercase-only font family inspired on european typographic tendencies between the second half of 19th century and first half of the 20th.
It looks rational and geometric. However, it is optically corrected and balanced.
This font face is designed to be used mostly for headlines, visual identities or short sentences, both in big and small sizes. Lighter faces provide a more contemporary and design look&feel, while the bolder ones definitely look retro.
Novecento family was kerned with love and patience; each font has between 1030 and 1090 kerning pairs.
Novecento is available both in opentype format (.otf) and as a webfont (@fontface).
The more condensed the letterforms are, the stronger ink traps and density corrections appear.
These adjustments allow the letter shapes to be clearer in smaller sizes both in print and digital usage. They also help in balancing overall text blocks color.
Underline and strikethrough height and vertical positions are expressely encoded in each Novecento family’s font to match its weight. All underlines you see on this page are the default Novecento ones.
Novecento font family was entirely made by Jan Tonellato, a freelance Web & Graphic designer, currently living in Paris, France.
In love with typography, he attended the 2010 «Type Design» master class at Poli-Design (Politecnico) in Milan, Italy, and then extended his professional activity to typographic research and design.
His fonts are crafted from a graphic designer’s point of view and to fit designers needs.
Alternate Q, N, I, J, Y, 0 letter shapes are separately accessible in applications reading stylistic sets and “slashed zero” feature, like Indesign.
All these alternate characters can also be accessed by the SALT feature (Stylistic Alternate) in other applications, like Photoshop and Illustrator.
Small numbers are expressly designed to match font weight and can be activated as opentype features.
With variable support among applications, you can activate automatic fractions generation, numerators (aligned to cap height), denominators (aligned to baseline) and superiors.
Tabular figures. Figures of the same width always align despite of their weight. In other words, you can vertically align numbers all together in light, medium bold and so on.
Romanian and Polish advanced diacritics support. Just select your text language to activate the localized accents.
Select All-Caps to get colon and semicolon glyphs centered.
This font was made with Glyphs Application.
