Old Times American
Some words from Baseline Fonts:
The Old Times American Family is derived from several letterpress books from the 1880s in the midwest. The fonts were painstakingly compiled from over 100 pages of text and optically balanced for optimum results.
Old Times American is part of the Grit History Series A font set. The set encompasses serif and sans-serif fonts in varying weights to meet the needs of designers. The less-than-perfect letterforms evoke a sense of the non-digital.
Grit History Series
The Grit History Series is based on woodtype and letterpress samples found in letterpress shops in the midwest. While many parts of the United States are virtually devoid of letterpress, print shops in the midwest continue to utilize this printing technique when appropriate.
Grit History is a response to the demand for less-than-perfect letterforms depicting a style predating offset printing and digital type.
