Midwest Type is the type foundry of Jesse R. Ewing, est. 2014. Jesse is a designer, illustrator, and type designer in Akron, Ohio. In 2014, he created Addressotype (Midwest Type) based on sketches by Sam Potts's font Addressograph, which was based on lettering from a vintage ad for the Addressograph-Multigraph Corporation, manufacturers of the Addressograph addressing machine that stamped out dog-tag-like plates that were used to print mailing labels at high volume. The glyphs of Addressograph follow the gaspipe lettering style popular in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. Typefaces from 2015: Centrifuge (inspired by manufacturer badges on old laboratory equipment). Typefaces from 2018: Addressotype Slab. Typefaces from 2019: Patricia Gothic. Typefaces from 2021: Bang Zoom (an all caps comic book font). |
