Zinco, designed by Dan X. Solo of Dover Publications, is a free Art Nouveau calligraphic display font with an eccentric, hand-drawn air. Its lettering shifts between slender, tapering strokes and fuller curves, with sharply flared ends. Rounded forms are interrupted by pointed, beak-like details.
The Art Nouveau influence suits vintage book covers, cabaret posters, and specialty drink labels, where the lettering can echo ornamental borders. The curling forms can become part of a brand emblem, making Zinco apt for theatrical venues and confectionery packaging.
