LDN Cable Street
London Type Foundry · Paul Harpin
An all-caps inline display sans by Paul Harpin, offered in two condensed cuts with eight style sets for interlocking glyphs, inspired by a historic East London street.
About
The typeface's rounded characters are drawn without overshoots, allowing glyphs to interlock cleanly when any of the eight additional style sets are applied. Two variants address different use cases: the standard Condensed cut and Condensed No.2, which features a thicker inline stroke suited to smaller sizes. The name references Cable Street in East London, site of the 1936 anti-fascist protests against Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists.
Classification
An all-caps inline display sans with condensed proportions and style set variants. The inline treatment and absence of overshoots on rounded characters are defining structural choices that place it firmly in the display category.
