Camellia was designed by Tony Wenman in 1972. This is a light, round typeface, with a very groovy feeling. Wenman mixed art nouveau traits with 1960s style to create the perfect whimsical effect. The letters are drawn with hairline, modulated strokes, giving the letters a thin appearance, although they are all quite wide. Overall, the effect creates a refreshingly new, decorative linear sans serif. The x-height of the letters is so high that the ascenders and descenders become diminutive, so this typeface works best in large display sizes. The typeface is unicase, and has an uncial-like bearing. If you like Camellia, check out another groovy display face from Tony Wenman, the platform shoe-wearing Bottleneck !
