HWT Brylski FONT Download
Designer: Nick Sherman
Publisher: Hamilton Wood Type Foundry
HWT Brylski is a typeface by Nick Sherman, named for retired wood type cutter Norb Brylski and designed to be cut as wood type at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum.
This font is the digital counterpart to the wood type made as part of the Hamilton Legacy Project. It incorporates several themes that were common in 19th-century type design, including split tuscan serifs with angled mansard-style sides, heavy weight placement at the top and bottom of letters (traditionally referred to as French or Italian/Italienne, regardless of any actual relation to those countries), and an extended overall width.
This digital version contains over 400 glyphs for full European language coverage.
