Radium FG is a new digitisation of the Art Nouveau hot-metal font Radium published in 1905 by the German typefoundry Ludwig & Mayer.
It became popular in the 1970s when Hubertus Carl Hace Frey reworked the bold weight of Radius under the new name Charleston. It was used chiefly as a display typeface on musical album covers.
Radium FG has, like the original Radium, both a regular and a bold weight. I added latin character sets for most Western and Eastern European languages. It is available as a free font under the SIL Open Font License with the reserved name Radium. For details see

The font is free for both personal and commercial use, but you can make donations via the paypal link of the font on dafont.com.
