About
Sourced from historical specimens at the Central Lettering Archive at Central Saint Martins in London, the family carries the broad proportions and blunt character of 20th-century industrial signage lettering. Five weights run from Light to Bold, and a condensed subfamily extends its range to tighter settings. There are no italics, keeping it close to its vernacular origins.
Classification
A wide, industrial grotesque drawn from 20th-century vernacular lettering specimens, placing it firmly in the industrial grotesque tradition rather than more refined humanist or geometric strands.
