Quincento, pronounced queen-chento, is an Art Deco inspired font defined by its use of verticals and geometric shapes. While working on a previous family, Goldroom, there were several ideas and elements that were left out of the final version. Instead of adding more variation to an already busy project a new one was born with a completely different identity. This all caps display font alternates between sleek, thin curvature and sharp 90 degree angles. Rounded corners can be substituted in some instances by alternating between upper and lower case as well as alternate glyphs. Tall, undulating, and nostalgic, it captures the decorative vibe that dominated pop culture during the roaring twenties. Use it for a retro poster, restaurant logo, or Gatsby themed invites.

Quincento is equipped with Basic and extended Latin, punctuation, kerning, and alternates. Please check the glyph map for all supported characters. The demo contains basic characters only. There are two options for acquiring the full version. The first is a $50 payment via PayPal for personal use only. The second way is by acquiring a commercial license.
