About LTC Hess Monoblack Font Family


A very rare metal face made a brief appearance in Lanston Specimen books and has all but vanished from use. In fact no examples of the font in use seem to exist. It shares some of the hand-rendered casual feel of Nicholas Cochin, but much heavier and well suited for bold headlines and package design.

About Lanston Type Company

Lanston Type Co. has roots back to the original Lanston Monotype Company of 1887, founded by Tolbert Lanston when he invented the Monotype casting machine. LTC went through mixed fortunes and was sold several times before Gerald Giampa eventually purchased it. In 2004, P22 Type Foundry acquired LTC. The historically important collection includes the classic designs of Frederic W. Goudy and Sol Hess, along with newer types by such contemporary masters as Jim Rimmer, Dave Farey, and Gerald Giampa.
