Author's note

Rade 20 by Nikola Kovanovic is a free Tuscan caps display font with a theatrical, old-poster attitude. The letters lean on broad, bracketed slabs and pinched inner shapes, while the rounded outer curves and little crown-like notches give the whole font a carved, ornamental rhythm.

It fits poster headlines, book covers, music flyers, title cards, and logo-style wordmarks where a few letters need to carry the mood on their own. As a free font, it also makes sense for monograms, packaging labels, and short editorial callouts, especially when you want that vintage fairground or saloon echo without drifting into something overly fussy.
