There's a new font in town. Designers Ale Paul and Jon Parker created a Brooklyn-inspired typeface called Brownstone, which they describe as, "an original 21st-century design, yet subtly infused with historical and cultural references—keen observers might spot influences from decorative typefaces of 19th-century foundries. And just as faces from that era were influenced by contemporary architecture, the frames included with Brownstone echo the ornate iron railings of Park Slope's row houses." They also say it has an "old-meets-new aesthetic of the DIY craft culture."
If Todd P and Martha Stewart sat down at the Brooklyn Flea and created a font, this is what it might look like. But what about those other Brooklynites—where's the Karl Fischer font, eh?! [via FreeWilliamsburg]
