Typeface: Coales Black

This is a revival of the type specimin found in my remake of the Save Light, Save Coal poster by Phillip Coles.

When I was recreating Coles’ World War I era poster I had thoughts of using the letterforms as the core of a complete typeface.

The result is Coales Black which is intended to be the heaviest weight in a family of about two additional faces. As a “display” font it is best used in titles, headings, logos—where not a lot of reading is involved.

If you use this typeface I would like to hear about it. You can leave feedback using the comment form or send me an email.

Currently only a “beta” version is available. I am still refining the type but have been anxious to release it.
