PettingillCF-Bold Fuente

Pettingill CF is my revival, completely redrawn, of Arlington Old Style, a typeface I found in Pettingill Type Book (Pettingill & Co., 1901). This font is a bold serif font appropriate for posters, advertising, logos, headlines, signage and greeting cards. Pettingill CF could also support a vintage-modern design, and would be appropriate as a Secessionist font. Some of the glyph shapes are especially interesting. I find the g quite beautiful and the a elegant. The shape of the number 4 is interesting too.

Pettingill CF required quite a bit of redesigning since the stems in the glyphs were not regular, and the upper and lower serifs had a bewildering variety of dimensions. I believe I resolved this issue and made Pettingill useful for contemporary digital work.

I also enjoyed some of the copies in the display texts. Here are two examples: 1. Song of Home composed by one who never spent a minute there; 2. Even if our prices were just as high as those of the average store, it would pay you to come miles to purchase here. And you thought the hype was a new thing!
