Unic Pro is a peculiar typeface. Difficult to classify, this upright, bold, script-like semi serif typeface was inspired by the art nouveau period, and may have been trying to liven up the design scene. In 1980, typefaces like Helvetica and Univers were ubiquitous, and the digital revolution was still years away. Experimental faces like Unic Pro helped fill the gap for creative designers looking for untraditional choices in which to set headlines and advertising work. The merit of pioneer display faces like Unic Pro have never lessened; Unic Pro still sets a mean display text, and works great in logos and other corporate ID solutions.
