Commercial Classics

Commercial Classics, a new type foundry from @commercialtype specializing in making typefaces for today, from faces from yesterday.

[Commercial Classics @commerclassics]

We are sad to announce that we are postponing the Commercial Classics North American Spring tour. We will be rescheduling for the fall.

Expansion: Thorowgood Egyptian
Paul Barnes & Greg Gazdowicz
With five new weights with matching italics, it is the perfect encapsulation of early condensed slab forms. Famed for their punch in headlines it is the perfect companion to Thorowgood Grotesque.

[The Counter Press @thecounterpress]

Our second contributor in EC3 is the wonderful Paul Barnes of @commercialclassics, who drew a custom version of Caslon Rounded specially to be cut as new wood type, to accompany his article. This is the first showing of that full alphabet, in upper and lowercase, in 14-line pica.

Original Sans in its original form

[St Bride Foundation @stbridefdn]

Rather than being struck with a punch, sanspareil mats, for very large types, were created as brass or copper ‘stencils’ riveted to a metal backing plate. The rivets are visible in these examples. Invented by Caslon in 1810.

Paul will be introducing the ongoing digitisation of @stbridelibrary specimens

So much to love typographically, but especially Shakespeare in an Italian

A modern classic by @commercialtype. A new take on the Caslon model, a take on the Dutch model. Double Dutch.

[Commercial Classics @commerclassics]

Original Sans looking good over 190 years since it first appeared @order

[order @order]

Original Sans by @commerclassics is used as the primary typographic expression, emphasizing the power, message, and mission of the organization.
