Nocturne Book - VAULTED

The Nocturne Book font is based on an alphabet from a mid-1920s art deco book. The original seemed to have tapering strokes but it was too small to be sure; I made all strokes parallel & orthogonal and slightly modified the original in a number of other ways to bring it into the 21st Century. The designers of the original were Paul Carlyle and Guy Oring.

Nocturne has all the elegance of the Deco fonts of the 1930s. It recalls the romantic, sophisticated Zeitgeist of the early 20th century, that nostalgic time “between the wars”.

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

Here's what you need to know about this font:

• This font comes in 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3.5mm, 5mm
• The uppercase has 26 stamps
• The lowercase has 26 stamps
• The numbers have 10 stamps
• The symbols have 1 stamp, an ampersand
• 1.5mm ONLY comes in UPPERCASE and NUMBERS, lowercase is NOT available for this size.

TIPS:

• The 3.5mm and 5mm are VERY thick lined, and unless you have a solid stamping base, I would suggest using these in soft metals only.
• While they are rated for stainless steel, these two sizes may be on the trixy side to fill in with color without a solid stamping base.
