A casual sans that harks back to the very English style of book jacket and poster art of the late 50's and early 60's. The turned-in terminals are reminicent of Stephenson Blake's Grotesque 9, and the italic provides unique cursive versions of the lowercase characters. Available in a narrow version as well as two standard weights, this face lends itself to the wider letterspacing that evokes hot metal.About the designer:
