A vernacular English serif drawn from letterforms found on historical City of London buildings, originally commissioned for a 2003 Arnolfini Gallery exhibition.
About
Rooted in the inscriptional lettering of London's built environment, Monday carries the quiet authority of stone-cut or cast letterforms translated into a digital typeface. Six weights from Light to Black with matching italics give it a workable range for editorial and identity applications. Its origins in a gallery commission lend it a cultural specificity that distinguishes it from more generic historical revivals.
Classification
Described by the foundry as a vernacular English serif typeface drawn from letterforms found on historical buildings in the City of London, placing it within a tradition of lapidary and inscriptional serif design.
