Federant

Federant revives the Reklameschrift typeface Feder Antiqua by Otto Ludwig Nägele (1911).

The main challenge of designing a modern interpretation was to equilibrate between applying visual corrections for overall consistency and staying close to the original source. In certain cases the historical authenticy was sacrificed in favour of an even typographic color.

This project required research of historic type specimens in search for the missing letterforms. The unsusual interpretaion of the Yen currency symbol can be found in typefaces of that period.

Designed by Olexa M. Volochay, Alexei Vanyashin for Cyreal.

Federant is a Unicode typeface family that supports languages that use the Latin script and its variants, and could be expanded to support other scripts.
