BACELAR & İRMAO — All-caps (Majuscules) 'Art Deco' display sans
═══[SOURCE]═════════════════════════════
Revival of the Art-Deco lettering seen on the medical supply store sign of
"Bacelar & Irmao, Lda."— Porto, Portugal.

═══[PROCESS]════════════════════════════
I tried to keep it as faithful to the original as I could without compromising too much.

But in order to make them fit a complete typeface when doing these kind of revivals from lettering that were never intended to be a complete 'A-Z'-alphabet can sometimes be tricky not to have certain aspects get lost or slightly modified. As was also the case in this effort...

One of those specific changes for example was with the 'Capital A with tilde'.

In the original store sign the style of the tilde is fairly novel and unique. And seen in that particular situation used 'as is', its pretty self-explanatory of course, and works just fine. But viewed in isolation it is hardly recognizable as a tilde. Not to mention if it was part of a complete typeface that includes multiple accented letters. In that case I thinks it is very confusing and rather useless when it has to resamble the tilde. To overcome this issue I created a new capital letter 'A' with a more traditional and better recognizable tilde.

But obviously I had to somehow preserve that original and quirky novelty as well. So I included it into the location for the capital letter 'A' with ring above. I think it suits that spot much better to be honest. So in the end nothing really got compromised.

I hope you like it

Cheers
