About the family


Artisinal is a revived Art Deco display typeface based on Cubist Bold, originally designed by John W. Zimmerman for Barnhart Bros. & Spindler in 1929. Expanded beyond its original all-caps metal form, Artisinal introduces a newly developed lowercase for greater usability, along with a cleaner default sans treatment of the capitals while preserving the original wedge-serif forms as contextual alternates. Ideal for branding, signage, packaging, editorial titles, posters, labels, and vintage-inspired display work, Artisinal brings classic Deco structure into a more flexible contemporary workflow. Its OpenType features enhance that versatility with contextual alternate capitals, stylistic alternates for select lowercase letters, ligatures, lining figures, and inferiors and superiors for fractions.
