About
Ross 1929 Roman captures the Roman lettering style promoted by Ross George in his influential 1929 Speedball Text book, a guide widely used by sign painters and lettering artists. John Studden's interpretation translates that hand-lettered quality into a usable display font. It sits alongside related releases Essendine 2 and Ross Antique Roman in Letterhead Fonts' catalogue of Speedball-era revivals.
Classification
A display face reviving the style of Ross George's lettering as seen in his 1929 Speedball Text book, placing it firmly in the display/lettering revival category rather than a conventional text serif or sans.
