Household Management
A display font based on a hand-crafted decorative type specimen found in the first edition of ‘Beeton’s Book of Household Management,’ published in 1861. This typeface, with its ornamental curves and flourishes, is intended to deliver truths and bold claims with the sweetness of the most well-mannered delivery. A spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.
I produced both a 6.5 x 8.24 in. bound specimen, and a larger format two-color screenprinted poster to showcase the type and its inspirations.
