Radium FG

Radium FG font family preview — free download

“Radium FG” is a digitisation of the Art Nouveau hot-metal font “Radium” published in 1905 by the German typefoundry Ludwig & Mayer. It became popular in the 1970s when Hubertus Carl “Hace” Frey reworked the bold weight of Radius under the new name “Charleston”. It was used chiefly as a display typeface on book and musical album covers. Radium FG has, like the original “Radium”, both a regular and a bold weight. I added latin characters for most Western and Eastern European languages. There is also a bold extended version under the name of “Lutherkirche FG”.
