Display Typeface for Large-Scale Headlines
Art Nouveau poster lettering recast as a systematic display family
Delvard Display is a headline type family by Nikola Djurek, released by Typotheque in 2010, with Latin script contribution from Igino Marini. It draws on late 19th-century Art Nouveau poster lettering, translating elevated crossbars, angled segments, and sinuous curves into a display-oriented collection. Five optical weights form a proportional system designed to maintain consistent stroke width as type size changes, supporting typographic hierarchy while preserving visual cohesion.
