Alan Meeks is the designer behind a number of fonts in various styles. In 1980 he came out with Rialto. Many characteristics are similar to those of the other Meeks creations Bramley or Chesterfield. The nostalgic forms display many elements characteristic of the Art Deco style so popular in England in particular. Rialto font is a decorative alphabet and its narrow, detailed figures are best used in short texts and headlines.
