Last month’s Border No. U-6 has been positively identified by one of our sharp customers as Element #26 of the Central Type Foundry’s spectacular Floriated Border, as shown in their 1892 specimen. Thanks, Laura.
For this month’s new font we present Figaro in 36pt. Better known in the U.S. as “Old Towne”, it was a 1940 design from British Monotype. The face is one more version of French Clarendon Condensed which was enormously popular in the mid-19th century—and now for us in America, it’s strongly reminiscent of the old west.
Back in stock: Cloister Old Style 18pt and Arboret No. 2, 24pt.
