Churchward Typestyle specimen from BluHead Studio

A digitised revival of Joseph Churchward's 2002 sanserif, expanded to 12 weights with obliques and small caps, notable for its ink traps across the weight range.

About

Originally drawn by Joseph Churchward in 2002, this clean and open sanserif was digitised by BluHead Studio directly from Churchward's original drawings, with missing glyphs added to maintain the design's character. The family spans Light to Ultra Bold, each with a 10-degree oblique, and is complemented by a set of small caps. Ink traps are a defining feature throughout, growing more pronounced in heavier weights.

Classification

A clean, open sanserif with ink traps as a distinguishing feature, suggesting geometric tendencies with humanist detailing. The ink traps become more prominent in heavier weights, a characteristic trait of Churchward's design sensibility.
