Isbellium is a
sans serif version of Dick Isbells Americana type, the last type
cut in metal by the American Type Founders Co. (ATF). Isbells
Americana has a wide stance with a great deal of elegance and Isbellium
tries to hang on to that elegance. This is more difficult to achieve
in a sans serif than a serif type. It has some of the flair of the serif
but with a quieter voice and a polite authority.
Isbellium is a display face and the Roman
and Italique come in five weights: Regular, Medium, Demi Bold, Bold
and Extra Bold. Small caps versions for each weight are also in progress.
