I would guess lettering given the context. Plus, the /F/ and /T/ lean in ways that would make no sense in running text but fit their initial and final positions here. And, the crossbars of the two /E/s are at different heights.

A few of the letters remind me of P22 Arts and Crafts Regular FWIW.

Very nice indeed - thanks for sharing!
I myself am getting a strong Vienna Secession vibe.

Nice find. In fact it sort of reminds me of something a friend of mine is working on. Not sure why. Perhaps it’s the curves that look like they are carved in wood.

Btw, if this is lettering it’s wrong to call it typography. Typography is “writing with precomposed letters”.

Thanks for the replies, and I stand corrected on lettering vs. typography. I also noticed similarities with P22's Arts & Crafts font, particularly with characters like the /R/. Of course the differences are in the triangular zeros, the eight, and other characters that adopt the triangular shape. I'd love to create a font from this, but I'm not a type designer. Anyone else care to tackle it? :-)

Used to be.
Now it's more like... algorithmic writing?

I should have clarified in my previous post---I don't need this font for any project...just suggested if someone was bored (LOL) developing a font based on this could be a nice contribution to digital fonts (possibly as a compliment to existing Arts and Crafts fonts?)
