LDN Kings Road
London Type Foundry · Paul Harpin
A 1960s-inflected rounded display family in nine weights, distinguished by a bottom-heavy stroke treatment that grows more pronounced as the weight increases.
About
Designed by Paul Harpin after experimenting with narrow rounded letterforms weighted towards their base, the family takes its name and character from London's King's Road and its cultural associations with 1960s music and fashion. Nine weights run from Thin to Black, with the flared, bottom-heavy styling becoming the dominant visual feature at heavier settings. Each style includes an extended Latin character set alongside standard Greek glyphs.
Classification
A narrow rounded display face with exaggerated bottom-heavy stroke weighting, placing it firmly in the display category. The retro 1960s styling and decorative flared terminals distinguish it from functional rounded grotesques.
