Nouveau Grotesque

Typography
NOUVEAU


The Nouveau Family is a modern sans serif that takes inspiration from the hand-drawn posters of the late 19th century, incorporating playful floral details from the art nouveau lettering onto an early Grotesque style. With the availability of alternative sets, designers can add calligraphic elements to text, resulting in a more dynamic and expressive style, perfect for branding and editorial purposes. Originally designed as a corporate font in 2017 with 8 styles, Nouveau Grotesque has been completely redrawn and now offers two new weights and a display version called Nouveau Grande, which includes higher contrasted letters, playful swashes, and whiplash ornaments inspired by calligraphy. Nouveau Grotesque's terminals and counters have undergone enhancements to improve legibility at smaller text sizes. Furthermore, the font now benefits from smart features such as case-sensitive and contextual forms, in addition to a vast selection of ligatures and small caps. Nouveau Grotesque offers five weights, including Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, and Bold, each with true italics. Additionally, Nouveau Grande adds a chunky Black weight, perfect for headlines. Overall, the Nouveau Family combines contemporary aesthetics with a touch of calligraphic flair, adding elegance to any title or copy.
