About
Horizon synthesises archetypal sources from the early 20th century through to the present, capturing the defining characteristics of reverse-contrast slab letterforms used in large-format printing. Its strong condensed proportions suit headline and display applications: basketball jerseys, street signage, film titles and poster work. A contemporary approach to mastering and extended Latin character support bring the design into functional modern use.
Classification
A condensed display slab with reverse-contrast serifs, classifiable as Antique, Egyptian, French Clarendon or Italian Clarendon. The reverse contrast and strong condensed proportions place it firmly in the 19th-century wood type tradition.
