Stone age fonts
By stone age fonts (this page), we mean fonts that could have been carved in stone by primitive men--these are necessarily angular typefaces with few curves. A prime example is Adobe's Lithos, designed by Carol Twombly. There is a way of looking at these typefaces as faux Greek (or: simulating Greek), as ancient Greek inscriptions have that same angular construction. |
