Ny. Serif Condensed Stencil
A condensed stencil serif drawn from Stephenson Blake's Mazarin and the sharp Gothic contrast of the New York Times Magazine logotype.
About
Part of A2-Type's extensive Ny. family, the Condensed Stencil cut takes its proportional cues from the Garamond-like metal typeface Mazarin, also distributed as Astree by Deberny & Peignot, and sharpens them with contrast borrowed from the blackletter DNA of the New York Times Magazine masthead. The stencil treatment and tight condensed stance make it purpose-built for headline and display use at large sizes. It sits within a broad editorial system that spans text serifs, slab variants, and sans companions.
Classification
