New Atlas specimen from Newlyn

A contemporary revival of a Stephenson Blake text face from the early 20th century, rebuilt from fragile specimen sources and extended into a full weight range with small caps and a cursive italic.

About

Originally drawn for small, refined print and praised for its delicacy, the source material was rescued from Stephenson Blake's early 20th-century archive and rebuilt by Newlyn for reliable digital use. The family spans five weights from Regular to Black, each with a matching italic, and includes small caps and discretionary ligatures. It sits comfortably in editorial and book work where a British metal-type character is wanted without the grime of an uncleaned scan.

Classification

A revival of a Stephenson Blake metal type from the early 20th century, bridging Victorian ornamental tradition and early modernist restraint, with a cursive italic and refined texture characteristic of transitional serifs.
