American

From Hamilton Wood Type Collection

HWT American is a multilayered family. The source material was a 19th-century chromatic family that only included two fonts. This digital version includes eight, and they are designed to be set and arranged, one on top of the other, allowing thousands of imaginable color and pattern combinations. Five of the eight fonts in the set can be used individually as variations of the classic Tuscan style of wood type, defined by its concave stems and serifs.

Designed by William Hamilton Page, Richard Kegler & Terry Wüdenbachs
