About
Part of the 58-font A2 Standard system created for the Evening Standard's 2017–18 redesign, this engraved variant was produced alongside serif text, display, sans and splash cuts for a cohesive newspaper type family. Available in Bold only, it carries the inline engraved treatment associated with classical titling and decorative display work. The Evening Standard, distributed free to 850,000 London readers daily, provided the context for a tightly integrated and editorially versatile font system.
