A revival of William Page's 504 wood type, expanded from the original into a six-weight display family distinguished by its barrel-shaped curved stems.
About
Salida takes William Page's late 19th-century wood type design as its starting point, preserving the distinctive barrel-shaped curved stems that give the face its visual punch at large sizes. The original single weight has been extended to six, from Light to Black, allowing designers to vary emphasis across headline hierarchies. It is available for licensing through Monotype.
Classification
Rooted in William Page's 504 wood type from the late 19th century, Salida's barrel-shaped curved stems are characteristic of decorative display wood types. Its expanded weight range and revival origins place it firmly in the display category.
