From the foundry
First designed in 1997 by Paul Barnes for a logotype, Dala Floda eventually became the headline typeface for the art magazine Frieze in 2005. A stencil serif with roots in Renaissance typefaces, it was originally inspired by worn gravestone lettering and lettering on shipping crates, though the elegance of the forms belies their everyday origins. Its swash capitals bring something unique and unexpected to the stencil category.
