Last month was Jamie’s favorite, and September is mine. And it’s my favorite for the same reason: this month is my birthday! This month’s “Face of Type” is our personal favorite, Clarendon. It’s a clean, slab-serif font named after the Clarendon Press in Oxford. It was the first typeface to be registered and patented, but expired after three years and was quickly copied by other type foundries.
Font Fun Facts: Clarendon is the first lead typeface we purchased for our letterpress, even before we had a letterpress! We also use it all over our website (the condensed version is in our header). It can also be seen across the U.S. on national state park roadsigns.
