P22 Curwen

Some words from IHOF:

P22 Curwen was originally designed by an unknown designer. This version was created by Colin Kahn.

P22 Curwen Poster is a digitized version of a rare wood type used by the Curwen Press in England in the early 20th Century for poster work. The font was known to have been cut in 6 sizes < from 3 line (3/4 inch) to 16 line(3 inch) in height. The font was based from impressions made of the 6 line type.

P22 Curwen Maxima is a hyper-stylized re-interpretation of Curwen Poster by Colin Kahn. As a post-modern poster type, it evokes an organic nature within a novel maximalist framework. It is reminiscent of early phototype display faces with an illogical 3-dimensionality which serves to give the font continuity. The capitals are buried beneath stylistic wood shavings complementing the sculpture like quality of the lowercase.

Perfect for (almost) any project.
