From the foundry
Part of Paul Barnes's Chiswick collection celebrating vernacular British lettering of the 18th and 19th centuries, Chiswick Grotesque embodies the letter seen in street scenes of the Victorian era: powerful and often cruder in style than printing types, with round, geometric bowls exhibiting an industrial aesthetic. This is the letter an engineer would use on a machine, or a sign painter would adorn a factory with, a letter for casting in a metal foundry rather than a typefoundry.
