Chevalier by URW
Chevalier LP is a revived decorative face with a European lineage. Its patterned and shaded fatface letterforms exhibit the continent’s 19th century fascination with elaborate engraving techniques, often used on currency as a deterrent against counterfeiting. For this reason Chevalier evokes images of bank notes and finance.
