Nocturne is a display screen sans and art deco typeface household. This typeface has two styles and was released by Scholtz Fonts.

The typeface is based on an alphabet from a mid1920s art deco book. The initial appeared to have tapering strokes but it was too small to be sure; I made all strokes parallel & & orthogonal and somewhat modified the original in a variety of other methods to bring it into the 21st Century. The designers of the original were Paul Carlyle and Man Oring.

Nocturne has all the sophistication of the Deco fonts of the 1930s. It remembers the romantic, advanced Zeitgeist of the early 20th century, that nostalgic time "in between the wars".

.

Nocturne can be found in 2 styles:
Nocturne Routine, which utilizes the Art Deco convention of small x height, and long ascenders. This design is ideal for headers, posters, labels etc.

.

Nocturne Book, which, with its higher x height and slightly larger characters, is extremely legible and ideal for small size text.
