Typozon · Cristian Vargas
A revival of Alexander Phemister's Old Style No. 1, expanded into five weights with italics for contemporary print and digital use.
About
Designed by Cristian Vargas at Typozon, this revival traces back to Phemister's 1829 design produced at Miller and Richards in Edinburgh. The original single cut has been extended into five weights from Light to Bold, each with a matching italic, to suit a broader range of typographic contexts. Latin coverage spans Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A; the typeface is expected to release in July 2026.
Classification
Described explicitly as Transitional period, reviving Old Style No. 1 by Alexander Phemister; characterised by near-vertical stress, strong thick-thin contrast and horizontal head serifs — hallmarks of the transitional classification.
