Nouveau Quellstift

Nouveau Quellstift, designed by Jérôme Knebusch and released in 2024, is the rounded variant of the Nouveau typeface. In theory, all sans serif types could have rounded versions. Here, it resonates particularly with the origins of Art Nouveau letters, which can be found in writing rather than in typography. The Quellstift, literally ‘source pen', is a monolinear writing tool made of shaped cork. Rudolf von Larisch promoted its use through his artistic writing courses at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna and his influential 1905 book ‘Unterricht in ornamentaler Schrift'. Nouveau Quellstift can be considered the written-looking companion to the Nouveau typeface. They are identical in line length and share the same distinctive styles and features, allowing for a gradual Art Nouveau expression. These can be accessed through OpenType features or separate font styles. A variable font assembles all in one, making them accessible through a weight and an exclusive flora axis. Note that Nouveau Quellstift has one weight more than Nouveau (a Bold).

The fonts contain an extended Latin glyph set covering many languages and advanced OpenType features: small capitals, several figure ranges (lining, old style, small caps, tabular and proportional), superiors & inferiors, fractions, case sensitive punctuation for capitals and small capitals, ligatures and many alternates. Look up the PDF specimen below for detailed information. Trial fonts on demand.

Nouveau received the Certificate of Typographic Excellence in 2023 by the Type Directors Club, New York.
