About
Newshound is based on the Los Angeles Times's headline and caption lettering from the 1930s through the 1970s, deliberately preserving the inconsistency and grunge of letterpress printing. Five styles span a range of optical sizes suited to different levels of newspaper hierarchy, from small captions to broadsheet banners. Alternate glyphs and OpenType features extend its authentic period character.
