About Declamation Font Family


Square serif typefaces are font families with strong visual emphasis, developed especially for advertising and display design within the context of growing industrialization. These typefaces, known as "Slab serif," "Egyptian," or "Mécanes," emerged alongside Gothic fonts, both responding to the need for a bolder and more robust visual expression for 19th-century industrial society. The first recorded slab serif typeface appeared in England in 1817, marking the beginning of a typographic design trend aimed at capturing attention with thick lines and solid structures.

Initially, slab serif fonts were designed exclusively in uppercase, which enhanced their visual impact in printed materials. However, lowercase letters were soon added, expanding their versatility and allowing for more nuanced and accessible communication.

The “Declamation” font family is a modern example of this tradition. It consists of seven weights, ranging from Light to Black, providing a versatile range for various visual applications. Additionally, each weight includes a 12° slanted version, which in some cases features more calligraphic characteristics, evoking subtle italic qualities that add dynamism and elegance to typographic compositions.

About Eurotypo

Eurotypo is a foundry established in 2004 by Carine de Wandeleer and Olcar Alcaide that focuses on research, design, and the production of new fonts. Originally formed in Santa Severa, Italy, the group has since moved its headquarters to Valencia, Spain. In Eurotypo we develop new and original typefaces inspired by both the models of ancient writing and the investigation of new forms of expression based on the communication function of typography. The group made its MyFonts debut with Antium, and has followed it up with bestsellers such as script faces Aleka and Juliette.
