A reverse-contrast display from Hoefler & Co that revives nineteenth-century Italian and showbill lettering for posters and packaging.
About
A reverse-contrast display by Jonathan Hoefler that pulls weight onto the horizontals in the manner of nineteenth-century Italian and showbill type. Built for posters, mastheads and packaging where you want the eye-catching strangeness of a circus broadside without leaning on a literal pastiche. Single weight, intended to be set large.
Classification
H&Co classify Topaz as a reverse-contrast (Italian) display face, drawing on nineteenth-century circus and showbill lettering where horizontal strokes are heavier than verticals.
