Member hra… Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Are there any fonts in the genre of Huxley but wide & short? hhp Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Not that I know of. But I suppose you could pick one of these and add the frills:http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/typeinnovations/scion/http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/canadatype/miedinger/http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/paragraph/stretch/ Link to comment
Member HVB… Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Treacyfaces has both Huxley High and Huxley Low - but I can't tell the difference between them! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Treacyfaces has both Huxley High and Huxley Low - but I can't tell the difference between them! It's referred to the "waist" (crossbar of E, curve of S, etc.). Link to comment
Member hra… Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 So who owns Huxley? hhp Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 who owns Huxley? Kingsley/ATF, apparently:http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/huxley-vertical/ Link to comment
Member hra… Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Does that now mean nobody? Not an instance of it, I mean the idea (even though there would be no US protection for that). hhp Link to comment
Member ken… Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The "idea" of it?! The heirs of Walter Huxley, I suppose? Link to comment
Member hra… Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 :-/ OK, I guess I'm OK doing my own version. In case you're wondering what-the-hell-is-he-thinking: the other day it hit me that it evokes Armenian (thanks to its basis on the arch shape), and if it was extended with the Armenian alphabet... One resultant question: would anybody hazard a guess as to which version is the most widespread? hhp Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Not absolutely indicative, but, here’s a list sorted by number of sales:http://www.myfonts.com/search/huxley/fonts/?sort=sales Link to comment
Member hra… Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hey, I didn't know you could do that! Cool. And thanks. hhp Link to comment
Member 5st… Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 There seems to be tons of Huxley's free up for grabs wide across the interwebs. So who knows which cut has become Huxley for the commoner. The only cut I enjoy is the one with the original capital k - Huxley Vertical D The only reason I call it the 'original' is because that is one featured in my sample book from '74. Link to comment
