Caponi Condensed Family

Christian Schwartz and Paul Barnes drew this around when finishing Caponi for Entertainment Weekly. Our memory is hazy but this seems to have been sketched for their covers. They ended up sticking with a condensed sans instead, maybe because the Marlboro Man vibe was too strong.

Farnham Collection

German-born punchcutter Johannes Fleischmann, a contemporary of John Baskerville and Pierre Simon Fournier, worked at the Enschedé Foundry in Haarlem. Expert in advanced tools and the qualities of fine steel, he pushed beyond the frontiers of his time, cutting active typefaces famous worldwide for their ‘sparkle’. Christian Schwartz focused on Fleischmann’s exuberant angularity, carrying it to all weights of his Farnham series. Twenty years later, with help from Bea Korsh, Farnham has been updated and remastered for contemporary needs—including swash capitals for the full range of italics.
