Expansion: Thorowgood Egyptian
Paul Barnes & Greg Gazdowicz
With five new weights with matching italics, it is the perfect encapsulation of early condensed slab forms. Famed for their punch in headlines it is the perfect companion to Thorowgood Grotesque.

Our second contributor in EC3 is the wonderful Paul Barnes of @commercialclassics, who drew a custom version of Caslon Rounded specially to be cut as new wood type, to accompany his article. This is the first showing of that full alphabet, in upper and lowercase, in 14-line pica.

Original Sans in its original form
22 Sep 2022
Rather than being struck with a punch, sanspareil mats, for very large types, were created as brass or copper ‘stencils’ riveted to a metal backing plate. The rivets are visible in these examples. Invented by Caslon in 1810.

Original Sans looking good over 190 years since it first appeared @order
Original Sans by @commerclassics is used as the primary typographic expression, emphasizing the power, message, and mission of the organization.
