Mostra Nuova is based on a style of lettering seen on Italian Art Deco posters and advertising of the 1930s. Although it’s very geometric, I made subtle optical adjustments to keep it from looking too severely mechanical. I first released it in 2001 as Mostra, a caps-only design. Mostra Nuova has more weights, better language support, and lowercase letters. It features dozens of alternate characters providing endless stylistic possibilities within the basic design, from fairly plain to quite stylized. Mostra Nuova 2.0 adds three new styles—Semibold, Extrabold, and Extraheavy—, support for Cyrillic, and a narrow alternate capital D.
