Buffalo, NY August 1st, 2005

P22 and the International House of Fonts introduce two new fonts, Larkin
and Numismatic.

Larkin
———
The Larkin font is based on the logotypes of the Buffalo, NY-based Larkin
Company that originated in the late 1800s as a soap company and grew into a
gigantic mail-order, chain store. This lettering style is an unusual
combination of Germanic Blackletter and Romanized capitals with an Italic
slant. It is evocative of “old world” craftsmanship and early 20th century
romanticism.

Numismatic
—————
Numismatic was a font offered by the Devinne Press in 1905. It was based on
letters, Arabic figures and ornaments used by designers and engravers of
seals, coins, medals and inscriptions upon metal or stone during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
