Neon

$200.00

Allow us to steal from Fonts in Use as this is a specimen of Nebiolo’s Neon, “[d]esigned by Giulio da Milano in two weights and issued by Nebiolo in 1935. Alessandro Butti added Neon Ombra, a shadowed version, in 1938. Neon changes its width/height ratio at different body sizes.” Letterform Archive has the same specimen but with German texts. This one is in French. A sweet, ephemeral specimen of a sweet face with larger sizes of Neon printed from wood type. We’re in love.
