SMEERKAAS - Decorative, squarish geometric and rounded Art Nouveau display type

══[CONCEPT]══════
Modern typeface design influenced by Art Nouveau typography.

At its core it is a plain geometric style, and the real breakaway towards a more decorative 'Art Nouveau' inspired style starts with the elongated letterforms and their irregular descending elements. These give it a slight more interesting and dynamic flow that somewhat resembles a calligraphic or handmade look. Some of the descending elements in the uppercase string slightly differ in length and are more decorative, mimicking a dripping-like effect.

Unlike with a more traditional Art Nouveau lettering, the geometric backbone of this design keeps it quite futuristic looking, and actually provides a nice transitional blend of styles.

It works well at pretty much any point size, even at the very smallest, but keep in mind that the font wasn’t meant for large body style text, and is best used in short decorative setting.

══[BACKGROUND]══════
The name “SMEERKAAS” is dutch for “cheese spread” and it likely needs some further explanation on why this particularly odd name was chosen.

During the eighties we had this idiotic tv commercial that was aired on dutch
television for a cheese spread brand called “Goudkuipje”.

The plot for this commercial was a castle siege during medieval times, and it revolved around the phrase;
― "Ze smelten de kazen!"  which translates to; ― "They melt the cheeses!"

The plot further enfolds into the defending part that had run out of hot tar to pour onto their enemies, alternatively they started melting cheese, so that they would be able to pour that down the castle's wall.  

To better understand the link between my font and the tv-commercial you should watch the short commercial clip first.

But in a nutshell, the name was sort of choosen as a meme to suit the font's dripping-effect decorative theme.

I hope you like it so far...
