About the family


Cowling Sans AOE is a refined Art Deco inspired sans serif built from architectural lettering forms originally documented in early twentieth-century commercial lettering manuals. The typeface blends geometric clarity with subtle decorative details that give it a sophisticated period character while remaining highly usable for contemporary design. Expanded from its original lettering source into a complete professional character set, Cowling Sans includes small caps, fractions, ordinals, tabular and proportional figures, and extended language support. Its graceful proportions make it especially effective for editorial design, architectural publications, luxury branding, and refined display typography where a touch of vintage elegance is desired.

About Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
