About Furniture Type Font Family


Forme Furniture Type Em and Furniture Type En Designed by using the pieces of letterpress furniture usually hidden, to create letter shapes. The square nature of the type means it could be used as a low resolution type. Forme Furniture Type Em – Low resolution type. Designed using *Furniture and **Em quads from letterpress printing. *Furniture: Pieces of wood or metal placed around or between metal type to make blank spaces and fasten the printed matter in the chase. ** Quads: (originally quadrat) is a metal spacer used in letterpress typesetting. An em quad is a space that is one em wide and one em high. Also available as Em Shadow to be used as a headline or display font. Forme Furniture Type En – Low resolution type.

About Forme Type

A Forme is a letterpress term meaning: A body of type secured in a chase ready for printing. Forme Type is an ongoing (ever expanding project). The idea to set up a small type foundry started with a few sketch book ideas and college projects exploring different avenues in typography. Over the last 10+ years, whilst working and traveling the small idea’s and projects have grown into a number of font families that sit along side various typographic print projects.
