ABOUT ALBUQUERQUE

Albuquerque is a 'revival' typeface based on the font named Cyclopéen, distributed by the 'Fonderie G. Peignot & Fils' (later known as Fonderie Deberny & Peignot), with its initial appearances dating back to 1910 in the catalogs of the Parisian foundry. The drawings of Cyclopéen and its cousin Polyphème remain anonymous, likely the work of a collaborator or employee serving as a punch cutter at Fonderie Peignot. Cyclopéen is a highly condensed typeface with a certain contrast in its weight, giving it a rather classic silhouette with many distinctive features and character for its time. It is classified in the ‘Spécimen Général’ of the Fonderie Peignot & Fils under the 'Caractères Modernes' category, alongside other well-known fonts such as Grasset, Cochin, Auriol, Della Robia, and Robur.

Albuquerque is a 'digitalized' version of Cyclopéen, trying to be as closed as possible to the source, featuring only initial capitals, as seen in some specimens from Peignot & Fils foundries. The goal is to create a headline typeface, condensed for use in large sizes, with a strong identity derived from the base character. Some elements have been 'revised' for the sake of coherence and digital optimization.
