Author's note

Magklor is a free old-school display font with broad, dark strokes and dramatic shifts to fine hairlines. Its oversized curves, flared feet, and pinched joins recall eccentric nineteenth-century poster lettering. Several forms have a sly, almost theatrical swagger.

Posters are its most convincing setting, especially for cabaret nights, vintage fairs, and offbeat music events. The same ornate silhouette suits book covers and packaging with a historical or curious theme. In branding, the unusual curves could shape a memorable identity for a bar, record shop, or specialty label.
