Newston
About
Newston Typeface
Newston is a revival typeface based on Morris Fuller Benton's Gothic, grotesque sans-serif back in the golden 1910's. Initially prepared for American Type Founders to modernize United States typography (and it did!), the typeface is now in the hands of public domain due to the defunct of ATF decade ago & lacking of active descendants.
I own one of the 60,000 copies - the ATF specimen book published in 1923. And I was fascinated - or mesmerized by it I'd say. So I figured I'd revive a typeface into digital font by referencing the book (at that point I've found out the copyright of the book has expired.).
Here's the result. After many (many) days and dozens of hours at work, Newston was born - a full cap title display font made with real attention to details.
I gave my utmost attention to every single glyph in it. As much as it made me fall for its simplicity and beauty by the end of first phase. And by giving my attention I don't mean just work on the individual characters - the real magic/ struggle happens when characters are made into words and sentences. That's right.
If you're looking for a title typeface that expresses simple integrity with a vintage flavor, Newston is made especially for you. Try it - you'll like it.
Few things you should know about the gears in the aspect of utility:
- As promised earlier, I have updated Newston with modern symbols such as @, %, * and etc. See preview #4 for visual proof.
- You'll also find a pack of 12 vintage illustrations in AI vector & high resolution PNG. I packed them in as bonus to the font. These illustrations were scanned and optimized from my personal collection of vintage catalogs back in the early 1900's.
