Anormal Sans is a condensed, low contrast typeface with a high x-height, slightly angled terminals and an occasional disconnected stroke. The creation of Anormal Sans derived from a two week trip around Northern Italy, which put a spotlight on Italian Art Deco typefaces. These sans were abundant, from contemporary signage, to old wooden type found in printing shops, each one unique, ornamental and striking. Anormal Sans offers a casual, friendly sans and draws inspiration from these Italian Art Deco typefaces without resorting to stereotypes or gimmicks. Anormal's Art Deco heritage is apparent in characters such as /B, /G, /P and /S but many letters break from this stylistic norm. For example, the typeface includes a conservative /A and /N, a proportional /O and a standout lowercase /a. Overall, the combination of past and present creates a unique and eye-catching display typeface. [futurefonts.com]
