About
LDN Fatface pairs extreme stem weight with thin unbracketed serifs and prominent ball terminals, following the nineteenth-century fatface tradition popular in poster and headline work. The design borrows specific formal details from Harpin's London Modern, lending it a degree of consistency within the London Type family. Available in a single Bold weight, it is intended purely as a display face.
