Chauffeur specimen from Contemporary Type

A compressed grotesque that bridges the warmth of historic British foundry types with the angular, modular rigidity of DIN.

About

Chauffeur draws on condensed grotesques published by Caslon and Stephenson Blake in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, then shifts towards the architectural, near-modular precision associated with DIN. The result sits between clunky warmth and industrial rigidity. A variable weight axis and italic styles are included.

Classification

Compressed grotesque drawing on late 19th and early 20th century British condensed grotesques (Caslon, Stephenson Blake) combined with the modular, architectural rigidity of DIN.
