Taylor Penton · Taylor Penton
A single-weight revival drawn from a circa 1910 bottle label, stripped back to its most functional form for branding and packaging work.
About
Pulled from early twentieth-century bottle lettering and updated for contemporary use, this is a compact, no-frills display face with a distinctly utilitarian character. It ships as a single Regular weight covering basic Latin with a limited selection of accented characters, making it best suited to short-form applications such as logos, labels and packaging. The glyph set of 150 characters is lean, so it works hardest at headline sizes where its period source material shows most clearly.
Classification
Revived from a circa 1910 bottle label, the typeface carries the sturdy, stripped-back character of early twentieth-century commercial lettering, placing it firmly in the display and vintage revival category.
