A single-weight ornamented display sans-serif digitised by Jeremy Mickel in 2010, drawn from an unnamed Paul Carlyle alphabet first published in 1938, its shaded inline treatment evoking Victorian woodtype and engraving.
About
Originally an unnamed 'quaint' alphabet from Paul Carlyle and Guy Oring's 1938 handbook New Letters and Lettering, Eventide blends Victorian decorative sensibilities with woodtype and engraving influences through a distinctive shaded sans-serif construction. Jeremy Mickel's 2010 digitisation for House Industries preserves the cheery, faceted quality of the source material while extending its character set across broad Latin language coverage. It suits seasonal packaging, cookbooks, craft branding and folk-art contexts where a period-inflected but approachable display voice is needed.
Classification
A shaded, ornamented display sans-serif drawing on Victorian woodtype and engraving traditions, with inline shadow effects that place it firmly in the decorated/ornamented display category rather than a straightforward sans-serif.
