Victor Horta

by Yves Michel

Victor Horta is an Art Nouveau display font paying tribute to the celebrated Belgian architect of the same name, modeled in the spirit of Otto Weisert's 1904 Arnold Böcklin typeface. Every stroke curls and tapers with the sinuous energy of fin-de-siècle ornament, from whiplash terminals to teardrop finials that evoke wrought iron and botanical motifs. Bold and atmospheric, it carries the unmistakable character of the belle époque.
