HWT Arabesque is a long-lost Art Nouveau wood type from the Hamilton Museum Collection that evokes the excesses of Victorian design and the equally quirky ’60s Psychedelic era revival of Victorian type styles. Free-flowing designs flourished with Art Nouveau in the late 1800s and were directly referenced and further distorted with phototype in the late ’60s. Arabesque defies most of the basic tenets of type design and what comes to mind when one thinks “wood type.”
