We thought people might like to see a preview of two families we expect to release via Myfonts.com in the forthcoming week.
Granville, is inspired by traditional British (and transatlantic) shop signage. It’s an elaborate confection, drawing on Roman and Blackletter influences and is ideal to give any project an instant Victorian feel. Granville is offered in Regular, Condensed and Expanded widths as well as an oblique form and a yet more decorative ‘Grand’ form. These faces are especially suitable for posters, period advertising, Chapter headings and signage.
The name Granville refers to a character from one of the very best british comedy TV’s shows of the 1970′s and was suggested by mailing list member Fred Stevens. We had several other excellent naming suggestions which we’re keeping in mind for future releases.
Federal Streamliner was inspired by lettering senn on the side of a 1950′s/60′s era train. It speaks of the designs of the ‘streamline’ era and is ideal for retro projects invoking the 30′s, 50′s or 60′s needing a simple distinctive display face.
