Époque initially came from composing a fashion catalogue with some
materials from the Brazilian Amazon. The pieces of the collection used
natural caoutchouc as raw material and the design of capital letters use
forms that refer to the typography of the historical period 1890 - 1910
in which caoutchouc was the main driving force of the Amazonian
economy. This typeface has a complete set of numerals, a set of standard
ligatures, in addition to alternates in specific glyphs and a large set
of discretionary ligatures composed mainly for UPPERCASE. Époque family
is comprised of four weights without italics. It’s a typeface
recommended for titles, logos, and posters.
