Wiescher" Artis" is the name for my newest art-project-font. Certainly I just chopped off the last "t". Then I looked it up on Wikipedia and what do you understand, it is of latin descent. "Ars Gratia Artis" which suggests "art for arts sake" or in French "l'art put l'art", a perfect font name. If I would cut off the "s" too it would mean disambiguation and that in turn is, what I simply did here. Enough disambiguation!
" Artis" is a contemporary classical charm with severe contrast in between up- and downstrokes that make it distinct with a touch of art deco and revealing Renaissance roots. However-- "Artis" is a twin-font that has an elegantly embellished twin sis "Artis-Swing". Between the 2 font styles you have unlimited possibilities for mix. I like these twins!
It is a great everyday workhorse with seven weights from ExtraLight to Strong and all the needed weights in between. Great for brief copy and elegant headlines!
With 964 Glyphs it is a genuinely European font created for all Central European and Latin utilizing nations. "Artis" has a set of Cyrillic that is-- besides Russia-- also great for Serbia, Macedonia and Ukraine. It has oldstyle- and lining-, tabular- and tabular-oldstyle-figures and many ligatures.
" Artis" is available in Sans and Swing and is a classy, spirited and friendly typeface. Enjoy!
