A variable width family spanning proportional roman to extreme condensed, derived from a Barnhardt Bros & Spindlers' 1868 Scotch Roman specimen with exaggerated angular round forms and notched ink-traps.
About
The family's most distinctive feature is its angular diamond-shaped rounds, amplified progressively across the five widths from Regular to XXCondensed. Indented ink-traps in forms such as 'M' and 'n' give the design a contemporary character despite its nineteenth-century source material. Variable font technology allows the widths to function as a continuous range, making the family usable across both display and text settings.
Classification
Rooted in a Barnhardt Bros & Spindlers' 1868 Scotch Roman specimen, the family extends from a proportional roman to an extreme condensed cut, with angular diamond-shaped round forms and notched ink-traps that push it toward contemporary display territory.
