ABOUT

Shane Loorham

Designer who runs Silent Partner in Brunswick West, Victoria, Australia. He created Newtown Grotesque (+Stencil) in 2012, a commissioned typeface. He writes: As part of Liquorice Studio's holistic branding for the Newtown Social Club, we developed a bespoke san-serif typeface. The typeface was developed in standard and stencil weights for different applications and its creation ensures unique and tailored communications for Newtown down to the finest detail. The font reflects the café owners love of industrial age technical manuals and is based on one of the first geometric san-serif typefaces, designed in 1922 by Jakob Erbar, Erbar Grotesque. Liquorice went through a process of rationalisation and testing, amending and tweaking letterforms and eventually rounding off features to create a friendly but legible modern typeface.
