Nowa Elegant Retro Font

The term retro (lat. retro backwards, retrograde turned backwards) denotes phenomena in many areas that are specifically linked to older traditions or characteristics. The term vintage is also used in this context. The term retro wave characterises a cultural trend that presents itself as intentionally backward-looking fashion. Works of art or cultural achievements are produced by falling back on concepts or styles of past eras. The term is used as a fashion term both alone and in compounds such as retro style, retro model or retro design. Retro fashions can now be found in almost all areas of cultural production, from everyday objects to clothing and architecture to literature and music.

A typeface is a set of characters designed in a specific font and realized according to the respective technical conditions. It is used for text creation and processing, typesetting and printing, and forms the basis of typography.

A typeface consists of individual characters, the glyphs: usually lowercase letters, uppercase letters, umlauts, accented characters, numerals, ligatures, punctuation marks, special characters and small caps. These are assembled manually, by machine or electronically to form words, lines and more complex orders. The scope of such a character set depends on the technology and the intended application radius of a typeface.

The functional efficiency of the characters of a typeface script requires, in the case of Western European alphabetic scripts, that they are arranged horizontally, in neighborhood with other characters of the inventory, according to a uniform rhythmic and stylistic principle. Only then can they be combined into a coherent, graphically balanced typeface.
