Clarendon is a English Slab-Serif typeface that wascreated in england by RobertBesley for Thorowgood andCo., a type company formerly known as the Fann Street Foundary until approximately

1838. The typeface was pub-lished in 1845 after Besley, an

employee of the foundary since 1826 was made a partner in the firm

Clarendon is considered the first regis-tered typeface, with the original matrices

and punches remaining at Stephenson Blake and later residing at the Type Museum, London. They

were marketed by Stephenson Blake as Consort, though some addi-tional weights (a bold and italics) were cut in the 1950s. It was named after the Clarendon Press in Oxford. The font was used extensively by the government of the German Empire for proclamations during World War I, and was also common in wanted posters of the American Old West.

Clarendon Typeface InfographicsThree typeface infographics posters that I designed for my typography class. The first one sybloizes the aspect of Clarendon being prodominate in wanted posters during the Wild West Era. The second poster symbolizes the idea of making the typeface predominate in the 1900’s on national park service on traffic-signs. The third is a free choice using the typeface in a classical piano scheme during the 1920’s using the only colors black and white.
