About
Originally designed as custom lettering for a speaking engagement in Memphis, Beale takes its cues from Blues and Rock 'N' Roll typography of the 1960s and 1970s. The three-weight family – Light, Regular and Black – comes with discretionary ligatures, alternates and broad Latin language support. Its funky, characterful letterforms suit headline and editorial work that calls for period atmosphere without outright pastiche.
Classification
A display typeface with flared serifs drawing on Memphis Blues and Rock 'N' Roll record lettering traditions from the 1960s and 1970s, placing it firmly in the display/decorative category with a retro flare-serif character.
