Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton is a new Neo-Victorian face from Greater Albion Typefounders.  It’s something of an example of starting with a small idea and running with it.  This family of three typefaces (Regular, Small Capitals and Capitals) was inspired by a line of lettering seen on a late 19th Century enamel advertisement made by Chromo of Wolverhampton (hence the family name).  The family grew, topsy-like, from a recreation of these initial fifteen capital letterforms to the three complete families offered here.  They are ideal for advertising and poster work with a Victorian, Edwardian, or ‘Steam-punk’ theme.  They would also be eminently suitable for signage inspired by the same eras or (as we’ve seen a number of our other typeface families prove very popular) for book covers of period related novels and historical works.  Finally, these slender elegant display faces are just plain fun!
