    About Ironbridge Font Family


    A cast iron plaque from Bristol Temple Meads Station serves as inspiration for this antique font. The plaque commemorates the design contribution of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who in March 1833 at only 27 was appointed chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, the line that links London to Bristol.

Ironbridge evokes industrial heritage, gothic spookiness or eroded heavy metal.
