I'm hoping the Typophile think-tank can help point me in the right direction. :-)</p> <p>We're rebranding a company that was founded in the early 19th century (yes, they're *that* old) in the United States, and we're trying to find authentic typefaces from the era, or modern reinterpretations that offer a comparable effect. </p> <p>I don't know what the early 19th-century designers used, whether they were American typefaces or imported, but whatever was relatively common at the time for promotional materials, we're hoping to emulate as closely as reasonably possible.</p> <p>We're looking for display, body, the whole shebang. Any info you have off the top of our head, or can point us to, would be *much* appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> http://typophile.com/node/70846#comments 19th century america American fonts old old-fashioned retro typefaces vintage Design http://typophile.com/crss/node/70846 Fri, 28 May 2010 22:33:14 +0000 jamesarcher 70846 at http://typophile.com Greater Albion's Howlett Released 35 percent Discount‏ http://typophile.com/node/67360 <p>Howlett, which is now released on <a class="freelinking external" href="http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/gatf/howlett/ " rel="nofollow"> Myfonts.com</a>, combines great character with extreme legibility.</p> <p>It’s a simple display face that offers a sense of coziness and order, that speaks of all being well with the world.
