Archaic 1897

by Pilaster Davy

Archaic 1897 is a decorative serif from Pilaster Davy that draws on the ornamental lettering styles of the late 19th century, with Art Nouveau flourishes visible in its curved strokes and elegant proportions. The letterforms feel distinctly of their era, carrying the kind of detailed craftsmanship that gets lost at small sizes. Best reserved for headlines, titling, and period-appropriate design work where its vintage character can come through.
