HWT Archimedes is a wood type design sometimes known as Mansard. Virgin Wood Type brought this version to life as a wood type font. The variation with screw heads in the design was first seen in 1879 by William H. Page Co. This new digital version features a variety of styles, including the standard screw head option. The result is a sturdy, industrial font with a certain “joie de vivre” attitude. Not for every designer, but you know this is for YOU!
