Masahiro Naruse · Masahiro Naruse · 2024
A 2024 revival of the Garfield Series, originally manufactured by Standard Type Foundry and Inland Type Foundry of St. Louis, offering stylistic alternates and variable widths for personal refinement.
About
Sourced from the Garfield Series produced by the Inland Type Foundry in St. Louis, the revival preserves the ornamental character of the original whilst adding contemporary flexibility through stylistic alternates. Variable width options allow for further customisation, and the family is being expanded with lowercase characters. Spacing between ornamental and standard characters was a central design challenge in maintaining consistent proportion across variants.
Classification
A revival of the Garfield Series from Standard Type Foundry and Inland Type Foundry, featuring ornamental characters and stylistic alternates typical of American display type traditions. The variable widths and decorative letterforms place it firmly in the display category.
