Flirt by Canada Type brings back the spirited energy of art deco theater posters, distinguished by its swashy, delicate capitals and aristocratic lowercase letters. Originally sketched in the 1920s era of burlesque and opera entertainment design, this font was rescued from an old Dover specimen book and thoughtfully digitized to suit contemporary needs.

Where Flirt really shines is in its generous character set. You get numerous capital alternates, many featuring those theatrical descending strokes that defined 1920s entertainment posters. Beyond the base alphabet, accented characters support multiple languages, punctuation is complete, and swash variants add visual interest throughout. Rather than borrowing numerals from another typeface, they were redrawn to match the lowercase proportions perfectly. Keep a character map handy to discover every possibility.

Both weights are worth exploring. Regular sits airy and elegant, while bold employs a distinctive strategy: vertical strokes in the lowercase grow inward, horizontal strokes stay unchanged, and uppercase thickness applies only to already-hefty verticals. This produces visual drama without mechanical stiffness. Consider Flirt for vintage wedding invitations, upscale cosmetics labels, speakeasy and cabaret event materials, and retro home signage. It speaks to designers drawn to historical theatrical aesthetics and nostalgic branding. Get it on Creative Fabrica.
