Barlett :: A Vintage, European Serif
I’ve had my eye on this expanded serif by Tom Chalky for quite some time, and let me tell you: this one delivered! From the slightly uneven, perfectly imperfect edges to the delicate and detailed serifs, this handmade font just jumped to my favorites list. I can’t WAIT to use it for an upcoming project!
Introducing :: Barlett No. 1. “Inspired by 1800s English typefaces, this 9-style collection includes a range of serif styles and an elegant complementary script – all designed to bring a sense of character, imperfection, and manmade authenticity to premium design work.”
Important Note: The script you see above is actually called Slight by Up Up Creative. I needed something flourish-y yet legible for this layout, and this one fit better than the TC script.
