Bauer Alphabets : Fortuna Type Specimen

bauer fortuna-type-specimen-2.jpg
Fortuna or the typeface formerly known as Fortune also known as Volta first arrived on the scene in 1955. No wonder why the layout of the type specimen booklet seen above is yodeling with schizophrenia. This type face is having an identity crisis! Even if the name is confusing, the design is still beautiful.

Cool design! Fortuna was a face that slowly grew on me.

Cool design. Fortuna was one of those faces that grew on me. I like it a lot now.
