#flaxman

As a follow up to my last post about designer/artist Edward Wright here is one of his typefaces being used by a contemporary designer:

This poster from July 2014 was designed by James Goggin for an exhibition in Chicago.

‘James Goggin’s poster employs a newly digitised cut of British designer Edward Wright’s Flaxman typeface… famously known for its rotating role on the New Scotland Yard sign outside London’s Metropolitan Police headquarters’.

It’s really good to see one of his typefaces digitised and in use! Looks great on this poster. Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed I’ve been using type inspired by Wright, but more on that soon…
