About the family


Short Films is a fresh and distinctive type family that draws inspiration from Art Deco, while introducing a unique blend of styles that feels both retro and futuristic, geometric and humanistic.

Its wide-open counters and softly rounded bowls give the typeface a gentle, contemporary rhythm. A finely tuned contrast between thin and bold strokes adds a dual character—pop yet elegant, feminine yet structured, casual yet refined.

What sets Short Films apart is its rare coexistence of decorativeness and readability. This makes it suitable not only for eye-catching titles and logos, but also for body text, where clarity remains essential.

The family includes 6 weights, each with matching italics, offering flexibility for a variety of creative applications.

Short Films supports a broad range of international Latin and basic Cyrillic languages, including Basic Latin, Western, Central, and South-Eastern European scripts. It also covers key encodings such as Mac Roman, Windows-1252, and Adobe Latin 1–3, ensuring smooth integration across print and digital platforms.
