Decor Display is an experimental typeface that explanations the borders between ornament and type. The typeface is characterized by repeated decades that break up and extended the traditional letterform. The history of events in type and print can be traced back to the fifth century. Printer's ornaments were typically used to fill in blank spaces on a page, to signify the end of a chapter or book, or simply to add an aesthetic quality to the printed page. Although the use of ornaments in design and architecture used with the advent of modernism, Decor Display revives this aesthetic with a modern approach.
