Corrie specimen from Letterhead Fonts

A decorative display face by John Studden, drawn from Walter Corrie's early twentieth-century book of illustrations, lettering and ornamental panel designs produced between 1904 and 1921.

About

Corrie takes its cues from a specific historical source: the ornamental lettering and panel designs published by Walter Corrie between 1904 and 1921. John Studden's interpretation channels the hand-drawn quality of that era into a usable digital typeface. Its appeal lies in its specificity of reference rather than generic period styling.

Classification
