Mercè is a revival project based on Tages-Antiqua (distributed under the name Antigua Mercedes in Barcelona), a typeface designed and cut but Louis Hoell in 1914 for Flinsch foundry in Offenbach am Main. This revived project is based on a design strongly influenced by the mainstream designs at that time in the Art Noveau Europe of the early 20th century. And, is because of this, wide characters, unbalanced vertical proportions and the essence of classic proportions lived within Tages-Antiqua and in Mercè. Mercè is an interpretation that brings the essence of Hoell’s design with a more elegant, contrasted and transitional model that homages the original typeface after 109 years of its release.
