Supply 2011 Curwen Sans was first drawn by Harold Curwen at the
Curwen Press in 1911. Curwen died in 1949 and the Press went out
of business in the 1980s, and his sans serif—pre-emptive of
Johnston, Gill Sans, Kabel—has never been digitised. An Endless
Supply have re-drawn the font from prints sourced at Cambridge
University, and the specimen includes a critical history of the
typeface as well as new writing about the processes of revival.
The jacket design is a re-print of wallpaper printed by Curwen
Press in 1927. Produced as part of The Department of Overlooked
Histories at Wysing Arts Centre. D 20.50 €
