A revival of Stephenson Blake Grotesque No. 9 from 1906, tightened for typographic layering across three widths and seven weights.

About

Rooted in Stephenson Blake Grotesque No. 9, the design reins in the original's more eccentric details to produce an even texture without losing its period warmth. The family spans three widths — regular, condensed and compressed — each in seven weights with matching italics, plus a variable font with slant, width and weight axes. Space-saving proportions make it well suited to visually dense layouts such as magazines, posters and book covers.

Classification
