Clinton Street
A display typeface conceived in New York's Lower East Side, drawing from the neighbourhood's storefronts, street signage and wall posters as its primary visual references.
About
Clinton Street was developed during a typeface design programme at Cooper Union, with the surrounding Lower East Side acting as a constant source of typographic reference. Intended for display sizes above 18pt, it suits typographic posters, book covers and magazine titles. Further weights are in development.
Classification
Designed as a display typeface intended for use at 18pt and above, drawing inspiration from Lower East Side storefronts, street signs and vernacular lettering, placing it firmly in the display category with likely serif characteristics informed by its urban typographic sources.
