The snag I always come up against when I’m telling a story is this dashed difficult problem of where to begin it. I mean, if you fool about too long at the start, to establish atmosphere, as they call it, and all that sort of rot, you fail to grip and the customers walk out on you.

“And how did Lady Brandon describe this wonderful young man?” asked his companion. “I know she goes in for giving a rapid precis of all her guests. I remember her bringing me up to a truculent and red-faced old gentleman covered all over with orders and ribbons, and hissing into my ear, in a tragic whisper which must have been perfectly audible to everybody in the room, the most astounding details. I simply fled. I like to find out people for myself. But Lady Brandon treats her guests exactly as an auctioneer treats his goods. She either explains them entirely aware, or tells one everything about them except what one wants to know.”

Legacy Fonts by Joshua Darden

Joshua Darden published his first typeface at the age of 15. Of his legacy work done prior to the creation of the studio in 2004, we particularly acknowledge the Freight family of typefaces for its now renowned historical innovation and its ongoing popularity:

“With the Freight suite, Joshua Darden took a radical approach to designing for optical size. Letterpress’ subtle difference between the various body sizes have been translated into boldly drawn, hugely different variants with pronounced size-related characteristics. Freight turns the the traditional “natural” gradations of contrast and width into a conscious stylistic device.”
- Jan Middendorp, from “Shaping Text” 2012
