Federant revives the Reklameschrift typeface Feder Antiqua by Otto Ludwig Nägele (1911). The main challenge of designing a modern interpretation was to balance between applying visual corrections for overall consistency and staying close to the original source. In certain cases the historical authenticy was sacrificed in favour of an even typographic color.
This project required research of historic type specimens in search for the missing letterforms. The unusual interpretation of the Yen currency symbol can be found in typefaces of that period.
Designed by Olexa M.Volochay, Alexei Vanyashin for Cyreal.

Updated: February 2016 to Version 1.011, to correct the GPOS table (enabling kerning, so the horizontal metrics may change, causing some reflow in Firefox where kerning is used by default.)

Cyreal is a foundry deeply rooted in the open-source movement. Founded in 2010, the collective has expanded popular typefaces like Nunito, Rubik, and Raleway with Cyrillic support, among other works. Its original releases, including Lora, Prata, and Alice, have become a quiet staple in digital and print design, widely appearing across websites, apps, and editorial layouts.
