Based
on the popular and timeless Calson design, this face was carefully
digitized from the pages of an antique book
that I own
which was printed in England during the late 18th century.
I was particularly intrigued by a few unique treatments of
such
characters
as the lower case italic "p", the question marks
and various swash caps, that I had never seen before. During
the
conversion
process, I made sure to preserve the worn look of faded ink
on old paper by maintaining a subtle level of decay and opacity
with each
character. Used as a text font, Letterpress Text successfully
reproduces the appearance of old letterpress lithography.
Letterpress Text Bold can be used as a complementary
bold face or as a text font that can simulate a printed page
with
heavy ink coverage.
A
set of alternates, Letterpress Text Swash Caps,
are also available as a compliment to this very attractive
and versatile font family.
