About Salter Font Family


Salter is an exploration of 20th century book jacket calligraphy by Lucas Sharp. The typeface is a loving homage to various designs attributed to Oscar Ogg and George Salter, two masters of this period, and strives to bring out their respective genius into a standalone typeface. While Salter roman draws its construction methodology from the work of Ogg, the lowercase italic construction is based on a piece of lettering penned by Salter in 1941. The contrast of blunt, chiseled edges and loose, inky terminals echo the dynamic moments in history that these two artists inhabited. The act of systematizing something as singular and improvisational as Oscar Ogg or George Salter’s calligraphy brings this typeface into a new state of being that is contradictory to its original nature yet captures the eccentric spirit of its two inspirations.
