Stricto Sensu

Stricto Sensu by Melle DERIEPPE Claude is a free geometric inline caps display font with a bold poster voice and a clear Deco lean. The letters are built from thick, rounded blocks edged by crisp outlines, then cut with repeated diagonal bands and circular dots that give the font a rhythmic, sign-painted feel instead of plain geometry.

This free font fits best where the lettering can act like graphic shape: album covers, event posters, shop signs, title cards, and short branding marks all suit it well. It also works for monograms and big initials, because those diagonal slices and inset outlines give even a few letters enough movement to carry a layout.
