Denton Typeface
Denton is a typeface full of warmth, bringing expressive 70s
design into modern use.
It originates as a modern re-interpretation of the cozy, tightly-set typefaces that made the headlines of the phototypesetting period. Denton has a smooth uniformed rhythm with carefully designed letter interactions. It also comes as a variable weight font.
History
Type design was liberated in the 1950s, with the birth of phototypesetting.
The constraints of traditional physical lead or metal type handling were shaken off; designers suddenly had freedom. Super-tight kerning and overlapping serifs were commonplace, and it's that distinct feeling that set the tone for Denton.
