Mostra
Note: A new enhanced version of this face, Mostra Nuova, is now available.
Mostra (2001; discontinued 2011) is based on a style of lettering often seen on Italian Art Deco posters and advertising of the 1930s.
Some of the characters have two or three different forms which can be recombined freely to get just the right look. Three character sets are included with each weight.
The basic font includes the most conventional forms. Two secondary fonts provide alternate forms of some characters. The different forms represent commonly found variations in Italian Art Deco lettering. Though they are spread over three fonts, they can be used in any combination to capture a particular mood or style.
There are five weights ranging from Light to ridiculously Black. Mostra features a full character set (caps only) and kerning tables for display setting.
