“Murtaugh started by examining the late 19th-century Latins, a genre of wide, medium-weight typeface styles produced by many American foundries under the name Latin Antique. In the Franklin Foundry’s 1889 Convenient Book of Specimens we found the 6-point version of Latin Antique, a wide design with small, flared serifs and a rather static stroke contrast. We chose to work only with the smallest available size in order to concentrate on the general proportions of the design without getting caught up in the details. In this sense, Murtaugh is not a historical revival, but a looser interpretation of the original.” [Typotheque]
