Pettingill CF

by Chuck's Fonts

Pettingill CF is a bold serif revival drawn from Arlington Old Style, a typeface found in an 1901 Pettingill & Co. type specimen book. The high stroke contrast and idiosyncratic characters, including a notably elegant double-story g and a, give it a personality rooted in late Victorian advertising with hints of Secessionist style. It carries that era's confident showmanship into contemporary poster, logo, and headline work.
