Terry Koppel Design
[Terry Koppel]
Creative director in Brooklyn, NY. His wood-inspired typefaces can be bought at TK Shop. He explains the start of his type foundry: It was a period in the eighties before computers had really made inroads to publishing. During a typical call to a premiere New York typesetter---ordering some headlines in wood type---he told me "It's a good thing you called today, I was just about to throw all my wood typefaces away, nobody's asking for them anymore!" Before he threw them out, I asked him to make up a master photo strip of complete glyph sets of all of the typefaces that were more or less complete, and for a few years, we used them this way at Koppel & Scher. Later, when I moved to Esquire, I had them digitized with the flaws and irregularities intact. At the time, digitized wood fonts that actually printed like the old wooden typefaces were hard to find, and for decades I reserved them for personal use. Now, for the first time commercially, I am offering these unique digitized drawings of authentic wood type. Typefaces made by him include Anderson Gothic Squeezed, ESeventeen (a condensed wood type revival), SeriWood, WoodBlock Condensed, ETen, ETwentyFive, LuxorRev, Morgan, Morgan Gothic Caps, Woodtype Gothic Extended, and Haber Squiggle. |
