Prophan Plakat is a display typeface that plays with systematic inconsistencies. It is based on »Etrusco Nero Moderno«, published by Società Augusta (Turin) – taken over by Nebiolo Foundry in 1878. The Etrusco family features a variety of sans serif references, with its black weight resembling »Fette Steinschrift« and its light weights echoing »Akzidenz Grotesk«.

The »Nero Moderno« cut combines triangular and rectangular curves, which Prophan translates into digital realm. It also features slightly unusual widths—some letters appear condensed, while others follow a regular proportion. A Stylistic Set eliminates all descenders, ensuring uniform line spacing and preventing descender collisions.
