About the family


MFC Spindler Borders revives a collection of structured border treatments originally drawn from the “Classic Art Borders” and “Classic Black & White Borders” featured in Catalog 25 Type Faces by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler. Rooted in early 20th-century American type design, this collection emphasizes rhythmic repetition and modular construction to create elegant patterned frames and decorative banding. Unlike purely ornamental corner-based systems, MFC Spindler Borders is built around repeatable structural elements that allow designers to construct borders of varying lengths, heights, and formats with precision. The modular components can be combined to create classic rectangular frames, layered banding treatments, dividing rules, or repeating background patterns. Individual corner elements may also be used independently to generate quilt-like or tessellated decorative effects. Carefully digitized for modern design workflows, MFC Spindler Borders transforms historic American pattern-based ornament into a flexible and highly adaptable border toolkit. Ideal for invitations, stationery, editorial layouts, certificates, packaging, and decorative print applications, this collection offers strong graphic rhythm and structured visual character with contemporary usability. How It Works MFC Spindler Borders is designed as a modular border construction system built from repeatable pattern elements. Characters correspond to corner pieces and repeating segments that can be extended across a line to create continuous borders or layered banding effects. For seamless alignment, set the font size and leading (line spacing) to the same value (e.g., 12pt font with 12pt leading). Elements can be repeated, stacked, or combined to construct classic frames, dividing rules, decorative bands, or background patterns.
