Umbra Std Regular was designed by the prolific American type designer Robert Hunter Middleton in 1932 for the Ludlow Typograph Company. It is unique in that it is a three-dimensional display typeface based on the letterforms of Tempo, another of Middleton's creations. The design removes the main body of the letters, leaving only the sleek, geometric shadow to define the shape.

This typeface embodies the Art Deco spirit of the early 20th century, offering a sophisticated yet playful aesthetic. It has remained a popular choice for advertising and headline work throughout the decades due to its striking architectural quality. Umbra's minimalist approach to depth makes it highly effective for branding projects that require a sense of retro elegance and modern minimalism simultaneously.
