Art Nouveau is an international style of the applied arts that was most popular between 1890 and 1910. It made itself well-known through graphic arts, architecture, and decor.
An objective of Art Nouveau is to break down the separation of fine arts and applied arts. This fusion is seen in not only in graphic arts, but also in interior design, furniture, glass art, textiles, ceramics, jewelry, and metal work.
You can easily spot art nouveau by its use of whiplash curves and long, sinuous lines that bend and turn back. Art Nouveau structures tend to be asymmetrical: one side just wouldn’t look or measure like the other.
This draws another characteristic of attempting to portray a sense of dynamism or movement. It attempts to combine a natural-looking aesthetic to otherwise industrial applications.
Your projects can get the same natural-looking but modern appeal by taking a look at these available Art Nouveau fonts.
