Nostra in use: Ethical Colour

Eco-friendly colours and two very different fonts from the same family

October 15, 2024


Design studio Colour of Saying which specialises in designing packaging and printed materials decided to figure out how to find and choose climate-positive colour sources which harm the environment as little as possible. That is how the Ethical Colour research was conceived. The report’s cover and section titles are set in two styles of Nostra by Lucas Descroix, while Freight by Garage Fonts and Neue Haas Grotesk by Commercial Type are applied to its body text.

Nostra is a couple of ultrawide monospaced typefaces created by Lucas Descroix, heavy and sturdy Sett and light and snaky Stream. Both are equipped with sets of alternates as well as a number of borders and patterns. The typeface was awarded at the Modern Cyrillic 2019 and the Communication Arts 2020 competitions.

If you used the fonts from our library in your project, please tell us about it! You can do that by sending us the links and images at info@type.today.
