Artisinal

Historical Art Deco typestyle finds new legs as a Revival

Artisinal, not to be confused with the term artisanal, is our revival of the Art Deco typeface known as Cubist Bold, by John W. Zimmerman for Barnhardt Bros. & Spindler in 1929, breathes new life into a classic. The original metal cast typeface was designed without a lowercase, as well as some wedge serif capitals that made for not always perfect pairings.

We've created a lowercase that blends well with the original design to give the typeface more usability. We've also created a fully sans version of the capitals as the default set, and moved the original wedge serif capital styles to a contextual alternates feature. We've also created a few stylistic alternates for lowercase characters like the u and y and their accented styles.

See the last graphic for a comprehensive character map preview.

Opentype features include:

Full set of Inferiors and Superiors for limitless fractions.

A Standard lining figure set.

A collection of basic f Ligatures.

Stylistic Alternates for variations of several characters such as u and y.

Contextual Alternates for the original wedge variations of capitals that will mix in where appropriate.
