LDN Clarendon Poster
London Type Foundry · Paul Hickson
A single-weight Black display face in the Clarendon tradition, designed by Paul Hickson for high-impact headlines, posters and advertising work.
About
Drawing on the quintessentially English Clarendon genre, this face foregrounds the style's characteristic ball terminals, bracketed serifs and sturdy proportions at an emphatic poster weight. The Black Pro cut includes extended glyph coverage across Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts. Particular care has been given to display characters such as the S, R and exclamation mark.
Classification
A display-weight Clarendon revival with heavy bracketed serifs, ball terminals and high stroke contrast typical of the Victorian Clarendon genre. The single Black weight and poster-oriented design place it firmly in the display slab category.
