The Eighteenth Amendment

by Julia Holdnack

The Eighteenth Amendment is a thin, condensed display face by Julia Holdnack that draws heavily from 1920s Art Deco lettering, with elegant vertical proportions and decorative geometric details that recall the Prohibition era. Its narrow letterforms and delicate weight give it a distinctly vintage sophistication, best suited for headlines, posters, and branding that needs to channel jazz-age glamour. The name itself nods to the constitutional amendment that banned alcohol in 1920, and the typography feels right at home on speakeasy signage and period-inspired editorial work.
