Modern Art Nouveau

The Art Nouveau typography from today originated in magazines like Munchner Jugend, The Studio and Yellow Book or in period advertising, poster or sign design. Collections of typography today include some of the most recognizable styles of the period (Ariosto, Munch, Pantagruel) but they also include unique faces which are based on rare hand lettering.
