Grant Avenue is inspired by the monumental lettering in San Francisco from the early 20th century. After most of the city with destroyed by earthquake and then fire in 1906, the city was rapidly rebuilt. Because so much was constructed so quickly in this era, the inscriptions on many buildings share the definitive character from this time. Grant Avenue takes the essence of these inscriptions and brings them together as an OpenType family.About the designer:
Christian Robertson designed his first digital font in 1986 when he was in the fifth grade. It was aptly titled ‘Christian’. Since that first encounter with ResEdit, he has spent thousands of hours in the blue glow of the monitor tweaking type. When he’s not drawing type, Christian works designing/programming interfaces as a Senior Media Designer at Punchcut in San Francisco. Christian also operates Betatype, an independent, one-man type foundry. Betatype offers custom type design services as well as commercial fonts.
