EARLY WORK
ABOUT

   
2000. Inspired by several unreleased typefaces by W.A. Dwiggins. Unreleased.



Renowned type designer W.A. Dwiggins sketched out a few ideas for newspaper text faces, but never completed one. This project was my interpretation of what his intentions seemed to be in one of his sketches. It's not a bad start. It's very rugged - I think newspaper printing has gotten much better since he was around.

Probably Roman and Bold with italics, maybe with Small Caps.
