OVERVIEW:
This is the 3rd release of Novecento sans, a Caps + small-caps 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.
Novecento sans is very versatile: lighter faces provide a more contemporary and design look&feel, while the bolder ones definitely look retro.
Novecento family was spaced and kerned with love and patience; each font has between 700 and 1050 kerning pairs.
This font is available for licensing in opentype and webfont format, as well as for mobile apps, ebooks and for software embedding.
