Armoire: Art Deco font family

Armoire is a contrast sans-serif typeface that blends the elegant rationalism of Art Deco with the ornamental craftsmanship of Art Nouveau.

Designed for both display and text usage, Armoire features a subtle range of weights with accompanying italics, and a special set of case-sensitive uppercase letters.

Art Deco/Art Nouveau

Armoire's lightest weights are constructed in a geometrically-influenced Art Deco style, but as weight is added, the angle of stress begins to rotate, lending a calligraphic flair to the bold weights.

The Armoire family

Armoire's Book and Regular weights allow typographers to choose a slightly lighter or darker weight with a subtle 13% difference, each with an accompanying bold and italic.

Armoire's italics are true italics (not simply a slanted roman) with slightly narrower and lighter letterforms that add a touch of classic elegance.

OpenType features

A classic Art Deco lettering style typically features extreme high and low crossbars in letters like A, F, H and E, but they have been lowered in Armoire's default capitals, to match the height of the lowercase. Activating the `case` feature will raise the high crossbars in E, F, H, K, and will elevate punctuation to cap height.

• `case` Uppercase-sensitive punctuation and raised crossbars on EFGHK
• `ss01` Raised crossbars on EFGHK
• `onum` Old-style numerals
• `lnum` Lining numerals
