Nick Curtis: Serif typefaces [Nick Curtis] It is rare that Nick Curtis makes serif typefaces, as he specializes in display type. Nevertheless, we find a few of them in his collection. These are free: ChanticleerRomanNF-Bold, ChanticleerRomanNF (2000-2006, related to Perpetua), Fairfax Station NF (2002, based on Caslon Open), Happy Campers NF (2002), Indubitably NF, Kelmscott Roman NF-Bold, Kelmscott Roman NF (2000, in the style of William Morris). Among his commercial serif typefaces, these stand out: Argentina NF (2009). Based on the elegant titling typeface Sterling (1917-1919, ATF). Decimosexto NF (2006). This family includes Spanish Roman letters and Griffo-style italics, both hand-drawn by Francisco Lucas in Madrid in 1577. Droobie NF (2014). After Drew (1910, Inland Type Foundry). Ingvaeonic-Oldestyle (2007). Based on Viking Oldstyle, from the 1909 H.C. Hansen Type Foundry catalog, due to John F. Cummings. John Alden NF (2010). A quaint serif typeface for a cold winter night, based on an 1884 ATF original. Kifisia Antigua NF (2005). An antiqued (slightly rough outline) interpretation of El Greco Antique, a 1930s typeface by Richard Gans. McKenna Handletter NF (2002): based on a 1923 text family by Elizabeth Colwell for ATF. Mercantile Display NF (2008). Based on Engravers Roman (1912, ATF). Numancia NF (2011). A faithful copy of Numantina (Carl Winkow, 1940s, Fundición Tipográfica Nacional). Cooper's Packard was first handlettered for use in ads for the Packard Motor Company, and later converted to metal by BB&S. A digital version of this was done by Nick Curtis in 2008 under the name Packard Patrician NF. Ragged Write NF (2006). Based on ATF's Hearst, ca. 1904. According to Goudy, Inland Type Foundry pirated this typeface from him. In any case, Rough Write has a large x-height and sufficient roughness to make this a lively text titling face. Rowan Oak NF (2007). Based on Richmond Oldstyle (1920s, Blackfriars Type Foundry of London). Tedlo Rowan NF (2014). Based on DeVinne Roman (1898, Frederic Goudy).
