Bold Monday · Pieter van Rosmalen · 2008
A broad-shouldered poster grotesque in three styles, drawing on 19th-century British sans-serifs and early American Gothic traditions.
About
Designed by Pieter van Rosmalen and released in 2008, Stanley comes in Normal, Stencil and Stencil Rough cuts, all sharing the quirky, idiosyncratic character shapes typical of early English Grotesques. The family covers Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts with an extensive language list and includes arrows, dingbats and OpenType extras such as ligatures and stylistic alternates. Bold Monday position it within a broader 'Italo-American Grotesque' collection alongside Nitti Grotesk and Nitti Typewriter.
Classification
Rooted in 19th-century British Grotesques and early American Gothics, Stanley is explicitly poster-oriented and bold, placing it in the display category with a grotesque subcategory lineage.
