Seeking the balance between reserved modern and gorgeous retro typography, you will someday drown in Art Deco and Art Nouveau font styles. At least, because retro doesn’t always imply intrusive curves and all those so-very-sophisticated details which can make any designer feel sick. Art Deco can offer beautiful sans serifs, and modernized Art Nouveau fonts can be a source of restrained luxury.

For the community, Art Nouveau is associated with the posters of Jules Chéret, decor of Belge confectioneries, as well as covers of Harper’s Bazaar and Vanity Fair. They were united by flower & ornamental motives, elegant images that brought up the harmony of life and well-recognized typography. Art Nouveau fonts are mostly known for elongated fonts with arched elements. However, designers also played with display serifs and geometrical types. The latter will become the most outstanding typographical feature of more recent Art Deco style.
