Umbra is a
shadow effect, in which the actual letter shape consists of negative space and is defined solely by its black dimensional shadow.[3] Several other typefaces were created in similar style around the same time, including shadowed weights of Gill Sans. Nebiolo's Ombra, part of their Semplicità
family, is very similar.
Umbra has been digitised.[4]
