Archive Thermo

Archive Type, a wonderful type foundry specializing in historic reproductions, has recently released the beautiful Archive Thermo.

Thermo is a deliciously simple Art Deco typeface based on specimens originally found in a 1930s American Typefounders Catalog. A “clean cut, sans serif with geometric proportions” and the “elegance of a human touch,” Thermo is listed as a display font, but also lends itself well to text sizes. The typeface has a svelte legibility and just enough irregularity to add a subtle, handmade feel to the font.

The font contains alternate characters of varying widths that can be freely combined, and best of all, it’s only $20! More images after the jump…

    Very nice find here, and for only $20 I can actually afford it. Give Mr.Foster a Cheez-it for me and a kiss.
