Masterman
Mac McGrew: Masterman was put on Monotype in 1909, but it originated with Hansen some time before that. It is a modification of earlier typefaces known generally as Title before type names as we know them became common, and is similar to some of the typefaces in the Engravers and Litho families (q. v.). The characters have high contrast, and lowercase has fairly long ascenders. The basic character is a plain, severe roman shape. It was popular as an early advertising display face. For a digital revival of this Hansen font first designed ca. 1872, I refer to Masterman (2017, Jordan Davies). |
