Antique Olive Nord D Regular

Antique Olive was designed by the French type designer Roger Excoffon in the early 1960s for the Fonderie Olive. Unlike many other sans-serif fonts of the era that followed the geometric or neo-grotesque traditions, Antique Olive was inspired by calligraphic principles and high-contrast stroke patterns. The Nord variant is an exceptionally heavy, bold weight within the family, characterized by its extreme x-height and distinctive "olive" shaped counters.

The Antique Olive Nord D Regular version is widely recognized for its high impact and unique visual personality. It became a staple in advertising and editorial design during the 1970s and continues to be used by designers seeking a bold, retro-modern aesthetic. Its tight apertures and heavy presence make it a powerful choice for display settings where a strong typographic voice is required.
