About
A slab serif by Yingtong Tan that revives Stephenson Blake's 1956 Consort, the foundry's mid-century workhorse. Nine weights run from Hairline to Black across Condensed and Normal widths, and a 2-axis variable font lets you tune Weight and Width for posters, mastheads and editorial systems. The character feels period-correct without being precious; sturdy slabs, even rhythm, contemporary control.
