Stanford Script with Tallington
|
LHF Tallington 
Arthur Vanson says of his new font: "Tallington
is a stylised version of gas-pipe lettering; the trusty old stalwart
of many a signwriter. Always a favourite for condensing long words
into a short spaces; it is also useful for creating dense bold areas
to counter light airy elements in producing dynamic graphical effects
with lettering."
Concerning the name He chose, Arthur writes: "After climbing
for three miles at 1 in 200, the East Coast Main Line passes Great
Ponton and High Dyke before breasting Stoke Summit and beginning
the long run down Stoke Bank at 1 in 178. This is the racing ground
where all of the London & North Eastern Railway speed records
were set. Mallard's 126 mph World Speed Record for Steam Traction
was achieved at a point just beyond Essendine and nearing Tallington.
What this has to do with lettering, I have no idea. My only excuse
is that I find the word quite pleasing, it starts with TALL (fairly
appropriate) and I'm rather fond of railways." |
