Metallophile Sp8 Medium Italic Font by Mark Simonson Studio

About:

A faithful facsimile of an 8-point sans serif typeface as set on a 1940s-vintage hot metal typesetting machine. Hot metal faces were designed for specific point sizes, while modern digital faces take a one-font-for-all-sizes approach. Metallophile Sp 8 captures some of the characteristic warmth of hot metal, which is particularly refreshing in such a seemingly geometric design.
