Fry's Canon

A fat face privately held by Kinoch Press. Berry, Johnson and Jaspert: This type, originally from Fry's foundry was cast by Stephenson Blake for Kynoch Press and Curwen Press. One of the earliest of the Fat Faces, dating from 1808. The design is that of the modern face, with an exaggeration of the contrast between thick and thin strokes. The exaggeration is however less than in the contemporary type Thorowgood.
